For instance, the LLVM.FFI.BitReader module has some functions that'll get you a ModuleRef from some bitcode.
getBitcodeModuleInContext :: ContextRef -> MemoryBufferRef -> Ptr ModuleRef -> Ptr CString -> IO Bool type ModuleRef = Ptr Module data Module
I'm confused how this works. How does one get a Ptr ModuleRef to call this function? Module is not Storable, so you can't use alloca or malloc. And I don't see any functions in the library that returns a Ptr ModuleRef. What am I missing? (Sorry, I lack experience with Foreign.Ptr.)
That's a good question, and I'm not sure of the answer. I based my previous email purely on a quick scan the documentation. I've never actually tried to use it. :) Aaron
