Frequently, we might have an instance of the Value Class and we want to determine which -Users use the Value. The list of all Users of a -particular Value is called a def-use chain. For example, let's -say we have a Function* named F to a particular function -foo. Finding all of the instructions that use foo is as -simple as iterating over the def-use chain of F:

You can use Value::replaceAllUsesWith and User::replaceUsesOfWith to change more than one use at a time. See the -doxygen documentation for the Value Class -and User Class, respectively, for more +doxygen documentation for the Value Class +and User Class, respectively, for more information.
