Thank you for this info, Chris.
I'm doing this 'cause I'm making a backend for a virtual machine assembly has an instruction which is very similar to 'for' statement.
I know this seems quite strange for that machine instruction looks quite high-level. 
Furthermore, it doesn't have instructions such as 'br' in LLVM so this is why I have to re-construct 'for' statement for the assembly from LLVM bitcode. (I must not use 'goto' in the high-level source code, either. :-/)

Thanks,
SJL
