[LLVMdev] viewCFGOnly() function

[David Stuttard]

Here's what the doxygen page has for viewCFGOnly() :

/// viewCFGOnly - This function is meant for use from the debugger.  It works
/// just like viewCFG, but it does not include the contents of basic blocks
/// into the nodes, just the label.  If you are only interested in the CFG
/// this can make the graph smaller.
///
void viewCFGOnly() const;

Which indicates that no arguments are necessary.

You're getting a compile error because you are using F->viewCFGOnly() when F is not a 
pointer in your example.

Try F.viewCFGOnly() instead
