llvm::CastInst::Create

Synopsis

Declared in <llvm/IR/InstrTypes.h>

static
CastInst*
Create(
    Instruction::CastOps Op,
    Value* S,
    Type* Ty,
    Twine const& Name = "",
    InsertPosition InsertBefore = nullptr);

Description

Provides a way to construct any of the CastInst subclasses using an opcode instead of the subclass's constructor. The opcode must be in the CastOps category (Instruction::isCast(opcode) returns true). This constructor has insert-before-instruction semantics to automatically insert the new CastInst before InsertBefore (if it is non-null).

Return Value

The newly created cast instruction.

Parameters

Name	Description
Op	The cast opcode.
S	The value to cast (operand 0).
Ty	The destination type of the cast.
Name	Optional name for the instruction.
InsertBefore	Optional insertion position.
