How do I get the size of a Type at compile time?
From LLVM
Keywords: sizeof(Type), getSize(Type), TargetData, getTypeSizeInBits
The size of a Type can be computed at compile time by using the getTypeStoreSize, getTypeSizeInBits and other similar functions in the TargetData object emitted by ExecutionEngine::getTargetData.
Code example:
//getTypeSize - returns the number of bytes required to store an instance of 'type'. uint64_t getTypeSize(ExecutionEngine *TheEE, Type *type) { TargetData *td = TheEE->getTargetData(); return td->getTypeStoreSize(type); }
