Question: Is there a way to get the BasicValueEnum from the name of the instruction. about inkwell HOT 6 CLOSED

Maybe I've do the later, something similar to https://github.com/EricLBuehler/Kestrel-Programming-Language/blob/37e0aa92dc4caade16e143b3f0484ef16c1320c9/src/codegen/mod.rs#L66C1-L78C1

Yes, this is what I did. I just store the pointer to the binding.
However, you must be careful to not reference it after it goes out of scope (use after free).
In my newer programming language (Kestrel, which is not Kestrel Programming Language :) ), I set the name of all instructions and blocks to "". This allows Inkwell to automatically number all elements.

In summary, you have to store some sort of Namespace struct that contains the type, name and pointer value of the binding.

I see, can you share the link to the repo of "Kestrel", I want to see some reference impl. Also where can I text you if I want to ask questions?

Of course, here it is: https://github.com/EricLBuehler/kestrel.
If you have any questions, feel free to raise an issue!

You might notice that I have implemented a MIR - my own LLVM-esque code. It allows the borrow checker I wrote to analyze the code.
