[LLVMdev] How do I get MachineFunctions?

[John Criswell]

Dear Vanderson,

You need to write a MachineFunctionPass instead of a ModulePass or 
FunctionPass.  A MachineFunctionPass is given a MachineFunction to 
analyze/transform in its runOnFunction() method.

MachineFunctionPass'es are run by llc and other LLVM-based tools that 
generate native code (such as the libLTO plugin and Clang).

Regards,

John Criswell
