@ -808,7 +808,22 @@ into an existing sequence of instructions that form a <tt>BasicBlock</tt>:</p>
<tt>BasicBlock</tt>, and a newly-created instruction we wish to insert
before <tt>*pi</tt>, we do the following: </p>
<pre> BasicBlock *pb = ...;<br> Instruction *pi = ...;<br> Instruction *newInst = new Instruction(...);<br> pb-&gt;getInstList().insert(pi, newInst); // inserts newInst before pi in pb<br></pre></li>
<pre> BasicBlock *pb = ...;<br> Instruction *pi = ...;<br> Instruction *newInst = new Instruction(...);<br> pb-&gt;getInstList().insert(pi, newInst); // inserts newInst before pi in pb<br></pre>
<p>Appending to the end of a <tt>BasicBlock</tt> is so common that
the <tt>Instruction</tt> class and <tt>Instruction</tt>-derived
classes provide constructors which take a pointer to a
<tt>BasicBlock</tt> to be appended to. For example code that
looked like: </p>
<pre> BasicBlock *pb = ...;<br> Instruction *newInst = new Instruction(...);<br> pb-&gt;getInstList().push_back(newInst); // appends newInst to pb<br></pre>
<p>becomes: </p>
<pre> BasicBlock *pb = ...;<br> Instruction *newInst = new Instruction(..., pb);<br></pre>
<p>which is much cleaner, especially if you are creating
long instruction streams.</p></li>
