Detailed Description

Functions in this group relate to the inspection and manipulation of individual instructions.

In the C++ API, an instruction is modeled by llvm::Instruction. This class has a large number of descendents. llvm::Instruction is a llvm::Value and in the C API, instructions are modeled by LLVMValueRef.

This group also contains sub-groups which operate on specific llvm::Instruction types, e.g. llvm::CallInst.

Function Documentation

◆ LLVMDeleteInstruction()

void LLVMDeleteInstruction ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Delete an instruction.

The instruction specified is deleted. It must have previously been removed from its containing building block.

See also
llvm::Value::deleteValue()

Definition at line 2925 of file Core.cpp.

◆ LLVMGetFCmpPredicate()

LLVMRealPredicate LLVMGetFCmpPredicate ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Obtain the float predicate of an instruction.

This is only valid for instructions that correspond to llvm::FCmpInst.

See also
llvm::FCmpInst::getPredicate()

Definition at line 2935 of file Core.cpp.

References I, and unwrap().

◆ LLVMGetICmpPredicate()

LLVMIntPredicate LLVMGetICmpPredicate ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Obtain the predicate of an instruction.

This is only valid for instructions that correspond to llvm::ICmpInst.

See also
llvm::ICmpInst::getPredicate()

Definition at line 2929 of file Core.cpp.

References I, and unwrap().

◆ LLVMGetInstructionOpcode()

LLVMOpcode LLVMGetInstructionOpcode ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Obtain the code opcode for an individual instruction.

See also
llvm::Instruction::getOpCode()

Definition at line 2941 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::CallingConv::C, map_to_llvmopcode(), and unwrap().

◆ LLVMGetInstructionParent()

LLVMBasicBlockRef LLVMGetInstructionParent ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Obtain the basic block to which an instruction belongs.

See also
llvm::Instruction::getParent()

Definition at line 2881 of file Core.cpp.

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

◆ LLVMGetMetadata()

LLVMValueRef LLVMGetMetadata ( LLVMValueRef  Val,
unsigned  KindID 
)

Return metadata associated with an instruction value.

Definition at line 1069 of file Core.cpp.

References assert(), llvm::MetadataAsValue::get(), I, and llvm::wrap().

◆ LLVMGetNextInstruction()

LLVMValueRef LLVMGetNextInstruction ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Obtain the instruction that occurs after the one specified.

The next instruction will be from the same basic block.

If this is the last instruction in a basic block, NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 2901 of file Core.cpp.

References I, and llvm::wrap().

◆ LLVMGetPreviousInstruction()

LLVMValueRef LLVMGetPreviousInstruction ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Obtain the instruction that occurred before this one.

If the instruction is the first instruction in a basic block, NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 2909 of file Core.cpp.

References I, and llvm::wrap().

◆ LLVMHasMetadata()

int LLVMHasMetadata ( LLVMValueRef  Val)

Determine whether an instruction has any metadata attached.

Definition at line 1065 of file Core.cpp.

◆ LLVMInstructionClone()

LLVMValueRef LLVMInstructionClone ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Create a copy of 'this' instruction that is identical in all ways except the following:

  • The instruction has no parent
  • The instruction has no name
See also
llvm::Instruction::clone()

Definition at line 2947 of file Core.cpp.

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

◆ LLVMInstructionEraseFromParent()

void LLVMInstructionEraseFromParent ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Remove and delete an instruction.

The instruction specified is removed from its containing building block and then deleted.

See also
llvm::Instruction::eraseFromParent()

Definition at line 2921 of file Core.cpp.

◆ LLVMInstructionGetAllMetadataOtherThanDebugLoc()

LLVMValueMetadataEntry * LLVMInstructionGetAllMetadataOtherThanDebugLoc ( LLVMValueRef  Instr,
size_t *  NumEntries 
)

Returns the metadata associated with an instruction value, but filters out all the debug locations.

See also
llvm::Instruction::getAllMetadataOtherThanDebugLoc()

Definition at line 1122 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm_getMetadata().

◆ LLVMInstructionRemoveFromParent()

void LLVMInstructionRemoveFromParent ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Remove an instruction.

The instruction specified is removed from its containing building block but is kept alive.

See also
llvm::Instruction::removeFromParent()

Definition at line 2917 of file Core.cpp.

◆ LLVMIsATerminatorInst()

LLVMValueRef LLVMIsATerminatorInst ( LLVMValueRef  Inst)

Determine whether an instruction is a terminator.

This routine is named to be compatible with historical functions that did this by querying the underlying C++ type.

See also
llvm::Instruction::isTerminator()

Definition at line 2953 of file Core.cpp.

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

◆ LLVMSetMetadata()

void LLVMSetMetadata ( LLVMValueRef  Val,
unsigned  KindID,
LLVMValueRef  Node 
)

Set metadata associated with an instruction value.
