Cannot run CLI

[markusmobius]

I am trying to run the helloworld example as suggested in the docs and keep getting the following error on Windows 11 (clang 14.0.6 - same with clang 15).

c:\github\Iril\Cli\bin\Debug\net6.0\publish>iril helloworld.c
iril: info: Parsing 1 files...
iril: info: Compiling...
iril: error: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Iril.Compilation.EmitLoadFunction() in /home/runner/work/Iril/Iril/Iril/Compilation.cs:line 1891
   at Iril.Compilation.Compile() in /home/runner/work/Iril/Iril/Iril/Compilation.cs:line 279
   at Cli.Program.Main(String[] args) in /home/runner/work/Iril/Iril/Cli/Program.cs:line 147

The helloworld example compiles fine when running

clang helloworld.c

I am new to LLVM and probably do something obviously wrong - any help is much appreciated.

I get the same, even if I compile a very simple program (literally a printf in a main function)

#include <stdio.h>     
                       
int main()             
{                      
  printf("hello \n");  
  return 0;            
}

Okay - update... in the latest code from the repo, this throws on this line in EmitLoadFunction:

mod.GetType (namespac + ".Globals").Methods.Add (md);

If I break that down, I get:

var type = mod.GetType (namespac + ".Globals");  // this is null
var methods = type.Methods; // crash here as type did not resolve, so `Methods` is null reference
methods.Add (md);  

If I get a chance I will see if I can work out more details, but that is why it is failing under Windows.

I don't know enough to know how this would be mapped correctly, but it does seem like there is no "test.Globals" type

The only other bit of info - it seems to be targeting a version of .Net 6 originally... I don;t have that installed, so I changed it to 7.0.101.... that might be the issue I guess?!
