Re: [drlvm][opt] How to get object access sequence during runtime.

[zouqiong]

I add the following expression in InstCodeSelector::addElemIndex():

Opnd* current_buffer = irManager.newImmOpnd(typeManager.getInt32Type(),
(unsigned)&current_obj_acc_record_pointer);

Opnd * Ip_Opnd =
irManager.newMemOpndAutoKind(typeManager.getPrimitiveType(Type::UInt32),
current_buffer, irManager.newImmOpnd(typeManager.getInt32Type(), 8));

copyOpnd(Ip_Opnd, irManager.newImmOpnd(typeManager.getInt32Type(),
0x19820514));

It seems that the constraints of the Opnds are wrong. Is it?

current_obj_acc_record_pointer points to a buffer of type obj_acc_record

typedef struct {
          uint32 base;
          uint32 offset;
          uint32 ip;
          uint32 other_info;
}obj_acc_record;

Jitrino's code generation pipeline can be splitted into 2 parts: HLO and
CG
(codegen)
HLO part performs HIR optimizations/transformations
CG part performs LIR optimizations/transformations
LIR optimizations are very limited and very platform specific.
For example, inlining of Java methods is not platform specific, so this is
HLO optimization.

If you put your helper into Code Selector Pass (which is also called
'hir2lir') it's OK.
The only drawback I see here: your tracking call will never be inlined.
