Unable to Printf the contents of variables

[Redrield]

I found this library for your reddit thread, and decided to implement it into a toy language that I'm in the process of making. I was able to make it handle the printing of string literals, but when I tried to abstract it a bit more, I found that it was having trouble emitting code that printed the contents of variables.

My code can be found at https://github.com/Redrield/ChocoLang/blob/experimental/src/main/kotlin/com/redrield/chocolang/codegen/LLVMIRGenerator.kt#L70 (That line is more associated with defining the variables).

I'm not sure if this is user error of if it's a bug in the API, but I wasn't really able to find any documentation past glances in the source, and from what I found that should work.

Can you give me more details?

First of all I would need one example of source file you are using so I can try to run the compiler and see what IR code it produces.

The code that I was testing it with is as follows

var x = "Hello"
println(x)

The compiler emits valid java bytecode but the LLVM IR that's emitted produces a mangled output
