+ some more details:

These 2 above are equivalent to the followin C code:

[pseudo-code] Address memOpnd = (Address)&g_Address; // here, the &g_Address
presumed to be the global static var

Now, if you want to write to this, then
[pseudo-code] *(int*)memOpnd = 0xFFFFFF;

Is this what you're trying to achieve?

If yes, then in LIR this is
    Inst* inst = irManager.newCopyPseudoInst(Mnemonic_MOV, memOpnd,
your0xFFFF);
