<h5>Syntax:</h5>

<pre> <result> = phi <ty> [ <val0>, <label0>], ...<br></pre>
<h5>Overview:</h5>
<p>The '<tt>phi</tt>' instruction is used to implement the φ node in
the SSA graph representing the function.</p>
<h5>Arguments:</h5>
+
<p>The type of the incoming values is specified with the first type
field. After this, the '<tt>phi</tt>' instruction takes a list of pairs
as arguments, with one pair for each predecessor basic block of the
current block. Only values of <a href="#t_firstclass">first class</a>
type may be used as the value arguments to the PHI node. Only labels
may be used as the label arguments.</p>
+
<p>There must be no non-phi instructions between the start of a basic
block and the PHI instructions: i.e. PHI instructions must be first in
a basic block.</p>
+
<h5>Semantics:</h5>
+
<p>At runtime, the '<tt>phi</tt>' instruction logically takes on the value
specified by the pair corresponding to the predecessor basic block that executed
just prior to the current block.</p>
+
<h5>Example:</h5>
-<pre>Loop: ; Infinite loop that counts from 0 on up...<br> %indvar = phi i32 [ 0, %LoopHeader ], [ %nextindvar, %Loop ]<br> %nextindvar = add i32 %indvar, 1<br> br label %Loop<br></pre>
