Following some hints from Samuele, I am trying to wrap such functions in
another function that does some casting.
Here is my first attempt. It does no casting, but i already can't get it
to work.
def softwrapper(funcptr, arg_tps):
unrolling_arg_tps = unrolling_iterable(enumerate(arg_tps))
def softfunc(*args):
real_args = tuple([args[i] for i, tp in unrolling_arg_tps])
result = funcptr(*real_args)
return softfunc
where funcptr comes from a call to llexternal.
It seems the tuple construction should not work (each args[i] is a different
type), but instead i get:
CallPatternTooComplex': '*' argument must be SomeTuple.
Um.. My only guess now is to malloc a TUPLE_TYPE.. ?!? no idea..
(I am really sick of code generation and hope it doesn't come to that).
Simon.
