[llvm-dev] Why MachineBasicBlcok doesn't have transferPredecessors() ?

[PenYiWang via llvm-dev]

for example

I want to insert a new machine bb “before” a specific machine bb.

or split a mbb and keep the later one as the original one.
(to keep the label/Blackadder's correct
t)
(or keep other property of mbb)

so I need to transfer the original mbb's predecessor to the new mbb.
