[LLVMdev] Operand, instruction

[help__me_please]

Thanks for reply.
I have used AllocaInst, it's working but i think it's only for allocating
some memory for new variable. And CallInst creates a call instruction. I am
looking for creating a add or sub instruction. 

I used function instruction(), which gives me error "error: cannot allocate
an object of abstract type ‘llvm::Instruction’" and also "Instruction.h:28:
note:   because the following virtual functions are pure within
‘llvm::Instruction’:", "Instruction.h:50: note: 	virtual llvm::Instruction*
llvm::Instruction::clone(llvm::LLVMContext&) const"

Also i have used BinaryOperator::create(), but it gives error that there is
no function called create().

Thanks again for your reply.
