But there is a splitBasicBlock function that seems like it might be useful to you, to make sure a basic block is starting at the exact place you want to jump.<div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Robin</div></blockquote><div> </div></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Thanks you all! I'm looking at splitBasicBlock and trying to use that. BTW, is there a way at lower level of LLVM that can implement this functionality? E.g. MCBasicBlock or MCInst?<br><br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>You are unlikely to want to do this at the MC level, maybe the MI level.

</blockquote></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks for the answer. I want to construct a table which can jump to the address after a call instruction. And replace the call/ret instructions with that indirection table. So to protect return address on stack.<br><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>An MI level pass will likely work, but you might end up having issues replacing instructions. It'll be some effort though.</div><span class=""><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>-eric</div></font></span></div>
</blockquote></div>Thanks Eric for your help. I'm reading the function <i>Emitter<CodeEmitter>::runOnMachineFunction(MachineFunction &MF)</i> in lib/Target/X86/X86CodeEmitter.cpp. And I hope this is the place I have to modify for my purpose.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Sincerely,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Xiaoguang<br></div></div>
