the CFG after that point. I don't know whether such an analysis exists currently. I also don't know whether it would be straightforward to map an LLVM IR CFG to the machine-IR CFG; maybe not, as there are certainly machine-IR passes that do things like splitting

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your comments. Suppose I can generate the control flow graph via LLVM Pass or the default option like '-dot-cfg' with opt. However, the control flow graph is based on llvm IR level. I would like to have a control flow graph based
on binary level. Thus, I want to map the IR to binary address. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As far as I know, we used to use the debug information to map the IR to source code and then use the dwarf line mapping table to map to binary address. However, I come across many problems. For example, dwarf mapping table's information
is not complete. Sometimes the line number could even be zero. Besides, one line and column number could map to more than one binary address. Thus, I may need the mapping from IR to binary to give me a control flow graph on binary level. Do you have any comments
or solutions? Many Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>

can point to a source location that caused the diagnostic; second, because debugging information in the final binary wants to be able to map machine instruction addresses back to source locations. There is never any need for the end-user to map machine instruction
addresses back to IR instructions, so we don't maintain any information that could produce such a mapping.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
