Detailed Description

A basic block represents a single entry single exit section of code.

Basic blocks contain a list of instructions which form the body of the block.

Basic blocks belong to functions. They have the type of label.

Basic blocks are themselves values. However, the C API models them as LLVMBasicBlockRef.

Function Documentation

LLVMBasicBlockRef LLVMAppendBasicBlock ( LLVMValueRef  Fn,
const char *  Name 
)

References LLVMAppendBasicBlockInContext(), and LLVMGetGlobalContext().

LLVMBasicBlockRef LLVMAppendBasicBlockInContext ( LLVMContextRef  C,
LLVMValueRef  Fn,
const char *  Name 
)

Append a basic block to the end of a function.

Definition at line 2034 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::BasicBlock::Create(), llvm::unwrap(), and llvm::wrap().

Referenced by LLVMAppendBasicBlock().

LLVMValueRef LLVMBasicBlockAsValue ( LLVMBasicBlockRef  BB)

Convert a basic block instance to a value type.

Definition at line 1964 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::unwrap(), and llvm::wrap().

unsigned LLVMCountBasicBlocks ( LLVMValueRef  Fn)

Obtain the number of basic blocks in a function.

Parameters
FnFunction value to operate on.

Definition at line 1988 of file Core.cpp.

void LLVMDeleteBasicBlock ( LLVMBasicBlockRef  BB)

Remove a basic block from a function and delete it.

This deletes the basic block from its containing function and deletes the basic block itself.

See Also
llvm::BasicBlock::eraseFromParent()

Definition at line 2056 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::unwrap().

const char* LLVMGetBasicBlockName ( LLVMBasicBlockRef  BB)

Obtain the string name of a basic block.

Definition at line 1976 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::unwrap().

LLVMValueRef LLVMGetBasicBlockParent ( LLVMBasicBlockRef  BB)

Obtain the function to which a basic block belongs.

See Also
llvm::BasicBlock::getParent()

Definition at line 1980 of file Core.cpp.

References getParent(), llvm::unwrap(), and llvm::wrap().

void LLVMGetBasicBlocks ( LLVMValueRef  Fn,
LLVMBasicBlockRef BasicBlocks 
)

Obtain all of the basic blocks in a function.

This operates on a function value. The BasicBlocks parameter is a pointer to a pre-allocated array of LLVMBasicBlockRef of at least LLVMCountBasicBlocks() in length. This array is populated with LLVMBasicBlockRef instances.

Definition at line 1992 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::wrap().

LLVMValueRef LLVMGetBasicBlockTerminator ( LLVMBasicBlockRef  BB)

Obtain the terminator instruction for a basic block.

If the basic block does not have a terminator (it is not well-formed if it doesn't), then NULL is returned.

The returned LLVMValueRef corresponds to a llvm::TerminatorInst.

llvm::BasicBlock::getTerminator()

Definition at line 1984 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::unwrap(), and llvm::wrap().

LLVMBasicBlockRef LLVMGetEntryBasicBlock ( LLVMValueRef  Fn)

Obtain the basic block that corresponds to the entry point of a function.

Definition at line 1998 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::wrap().

LLVMBasicBlockRef LLVMGetFirstBasicBlock ( LLVMValueRef  Fn)

Obtain the first basic block in a function.

The returned basic block can be used as an iterator. You will likely eventually call into LLVMGetNextBasicBlock() with it.

LLVMBasicBlockRef LLVMInsertBasicBlock ( LLVMBasicBlockRef  InsertBeforeBB,
const char *  Name

Insert a basic block in a function before another basic block.

The function to add to is determined by the function of the passed basic block.
