Detailed Description

Finds and instruments individual LLVM IR instructions.

When instrumenting LLVM IR, it is frequently desirable to first search for instructions, and then later modify them. This way iterators remain intact, and multiple passes can look at the same code base without treading on each other's toes.

The Instrumenter class implements this functionality. A client first calls Inspect on a function, which populates a list of instructions to be instrumented. Then, later, when all passes' Inspect functions have been called, the client calls Instrument, which adds the desired instrumentation.

A subclass of Instrumenter must override InstrumentInstruction, which is responsible for adding whatever instrumentation is necessary.

A subclass of Instrumenter may override:

• InspectInstruction [default: does nothing]
• InspectBasicBlock [default: iterates through the instructions in a basic block calling InspectInstruction]
• InspectFunction [default: iterates through the basic blocks in a function calling InspectBasicBlock]
