Basic blocks

LLVM.BasicBlock — Type
BasicBlock

A basic block in the IR. A basic block is a sequence of instructions that always ends in a terminator instruction.

source
LLVM.BasicBlock — Method
BasicBlock(name::String)

Create a new, empty basic block with the given name.

source
LLVM.BasicBlock — Method
BasicBlock(f::LLVM.Function, name::String)

Create a new, empty basic block with the given name, and insert it at the end of the given function.

source
LLVM.BasicBlock — Method
BasicBlock(bb::BasicBlock, name::String)

Create a new, empty basic block with the given name, and insert it before the given basic block.

Properties and operations

LLVM.remove! — Method
remove!(bb::BasicBlock)

Remove the given basic block from its parent function, but do not free the object.

source
LLVM.erase! — Method
erase!(fun::Function, bb::BasicBlock)

Remove the given basic block from its parent function and free the object.

Warning

This function is unsafe because it does not check if the basic block is used elsewhere.

source
LLVM.parent — Method
parent(bb::BasicBlock) -> LLVM.Function

Get the function that contains the given basic block, or nothing if the block is not part of a function.

source
LLVM.terminator — Method
terminator(bb::BasicBlock) -> LLVM.Instruction

Get the terminator instruction of the given basic block.

source
LLVM.name — Method
name(bb::BasicBlock) -> String

Get the name of the given basic block.

source
LLVM.move_before — Function
move_before(bb::BasicBlock, pos::BasicBlock)

Move the given basic block before the given position.

source
LLVM.move_after — Function
move_after(bb::BasicBlock, pos::BasicBlock)

Move the given basic block after the given position.

Control flow

Instructions

LLVM.instructions — Function
instructions(bb::BasicBlock)

Get an iterator over the instructions in the given basic block.

source
LLVM.previnst — Function
previnst(inst::Instruction)

Get the instruction before the given instruction in the basic block, or nothing if there is none.

source
LLVM.nextinst — Function
nextinst(inst::Instruction)

Get the instruction after the given instruction in the basic block, or nothing if there is none.
