createGlobalVariable: Define a native global variable

In duncantl/Rllvm: Interface to llvm for dynamically compiling native code.

Define a native global variable

Description

This function is used to create and initialize a global variable in an LLVM module.

Usage

createGlobalVariable(id, mod, type = getType(val), val = NULL,
                     constant = FALSE, linkage = ExternalLinkage,
                      threadLocal = FALSE)

Arguments

id	the name of the variable, a character string
val	the initial value of the variable which can be NULL. If it is NULL, then the type must be provided. It is also important to initialize the global variable with setInitializer.
mod	the module in which the variable is being defined
type	the type of the variable
constant	a logical value indicatingwhether the variable is constant or can be changed.
linkage	the linkage model for the variable, typically ExternalLinkage.
threadLocal	a logical value indicating whether the variable is thread-specific or truly global

Value

An object of class GlobalVariable.
