an example that prints the name of a <tt>BasicBlock</tt> and the number of
<tt>Instruction</tt>s it contains:</p>
- <pre> // func is a pointer to a Function instance<br> for (Function::iterator i = func->begin(), e = func->end(); i != e; ++i) {<br><br> // print out the name of the basic block if it has one, and then the<br> // number of instructions that it contains<br><br> cerr << "Basic block (name=" << i->getName() << ") has " <br> << i->size() << " instructions.\n";<br> }<br></pre>
+ <pre> // func is a pointer to a Function instance<br> for (Function::iterator i = func->begin(), e = func->end(); i != e; ++i) {<br><br> // print out the name of the basic block if it has one, and then the<br> // number of instructions that it contains<br><br> std::cerr << "Basic block (name=" << i->getName() << ") has " <br> << i->size() << " instructions.\n";<br> }<br></pre>
<p>Note that i can be used as if it were a pointer for the purposes of
invoking member functions of the <tt>Instruction</tt> class. This is
and then instantiate <tt>InstIterator</tt>s explicitly in your code. Here's a
small example that shows how to dump all instructions in a function to the standard error stream:<p>
- <pre>#include "<a href="/doxygen/InstIterator_8h-source.html">llvm/Support/InstIterator.h</a>"<br>...<br>// Suppose F is a ptr to a function<br>for (inst_iterator i = inst_begin(F), e = inst_end(F); i != e; ++i)<br> cerr << *i << "\n";<br></pre>
+ <pre>#include "<a href="/doxygen/InstIterator_8h-source.html">llvm/Support/InstIterator.h</a>"<br>...<br>// Suppose F is a ptr to a function<br>for (inst_iterator i = inst_begin(F), e = inst_end(F); i != e; ++i)<br> std::cerr << *i << "\n";<br></pre>
Easy, isn't it? You can also use <tt>InstIterator</tt>s to fill a
worklist with its initial contents. For example, if you wanted to
initialize a worklist to contain all instructions in a <tt>Function</tt>
iterators. By using these, you can explicitly grab the iterator of something
without actually obtaining it via iteration over some structure:</p>
- <pre>void printNextInstruction(Instruction* inst) {<br> BasicBlock::iterator it(inst);<br> ++it; // after this line, it refers to the instruction after *inst.<br> if (it != inst->getParent()->end()) cerr << *it << "\n";<br>}<br></pre>
+ <pre>void printNextInstruction(Instruction* inst) {<br> BasicBlock::iterator it(inst);<br> ++it; // after this line, it refers to the instruction after *inst.<br> if (it != inst->getParent()->end()) std::cerr << *it << "\n";<br>}<br></pre>

<i>use</i> <tt>foo</tt> is as simple as iterating over the <i>def-use</i> chain
of <tt>F</tt>:</p>
- <pre>Function* F = ...;<br><br>for (Value::use_iterator i = F->use_begin(), e = F->use_end(); i != e; ++i) {<br> if (Instruction *Inst = dyn_cast<Instruction>(*i)) {<br> cerr << "F is used in instruction:\n";<br> cerr << *Inst << "\n";<br> }<br>}<br></pre>
+ <pre>Function* F = ...;<br><br>for (Value::use_iterator i = F->use_begin(), e = F->use_end(); i != e; ++i) {<br> if (Instruction *Inst = dyn_cast<Instruction>(*i)) {<br> std::cerr << "F is used in instruction:\n";<br> std::cerr << *Inst << "\n";<br> }<br>}<br></pre>
