LLVM 中错误总结

1. error: conflicting return type specified for

error: conflicting return type specified for ‘virtual const char* XXX::XXX::getPassName()const’
     const char *getPassName() const override {
                 ^
In file included from /XXX/src/../include/XXX.h:9:0,
                 from /XXX/src/XXX.cpp:1:
/usr/local/include/llvm/Pass.h:97:21: error:   overriding ‘virtual llvm::StringRef 
llvm::Pass::getPassName() const’
   virtual StringRef getPassName() const;

这里的错误是指重载的 getPassName 函数返回值类型错误，应该把 const char* 类型修改为 StringRef

2. no matching function for call to ‘addRequiredID(llvm::AnalysisKey* (&)())’

/usr/local/include/llvm/PassAnalysisSupport.h: In instantiation of ‘llvm::AnalysisUsage& 
llvm::AnalysisUsage::addRequired() [with PassClass = llvm::MemoryDependenceAnalysis]’:
/XXX/src/../include/MDG.h:34:50:   required from here
/usr/local/include/llvm/PassAnalysisSupport.h:67:39: error: no matching function for call to 
‘addRequiredID(llvm::AnalysisKey* (&)())’
     return addRequiredID(PassClass::ID);

这里的错误是指使用 AnalysisUsage.addRequired<MemoryDependenceAnalysis>(); 添加需要执行的pass时，没有找到 ID，这是因为LLVM新版本中对 MemoryDependenceAnalysis 进行了更新，更改为使用 MemoryDependenceWrapperPass。如果添加其他的 pass也有这种情况，到源代码中找一下是否也对其进行了wrap。
