[llvm-dev] LLVM Pass for Instructions in Function (error

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks.

One question about:

Value* AddrPointer = Inst->getIperand(0);

So this works for LVALUE(S) i.e. in my case pointer on LHS of '='. I cannot
find anything online about getloperand online.

For reference this is the instruction:

%ptrA = getelementptr float, float addrspace(1)* %A, i32 %id


I thought if I just get the return value of the instruction then I can get
%ptrA.

Can you please elaborate on that?

Thanks again.
