<p>Hi, I have an question which sounds pretty naive.. (sorry, I
just stepped into LLVM Backend first time)<br>
<br>
I saw many backend source codes having Pseudo Instruction
Type.<br>
<br>
But I wonder what this Instruction type means<br>
<br>
I feel confused with 'pseudo code' with algorithm terminology.<br>
<br>
Could anyone make this clear what is different from those two
concepts?</p>

A "pseudo-instruction" in LLVM is a MachineInstr which doesn't
correspond to a specific assembly instruction. It's a placeholder
which will get converted to a real instruction or series of
instructions by some later pass.<br>
