@paschalis-mpeis There is a polymorphic iterator `InstructionIterator`, which is defined in `MCPlusBuilder.h` and there is a pattern to pass every required instruction sequence to `MCPlusBuilder`'s methods by this iterator (but, as I see, it is used to pass a chain of instruction with no modifications of the iterator itself). Also there is the `InstructionListType` and, please have a look at the [`createLoadImmediate`](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/bolt/lib/Target/AArch64/AArch64MCPlusBuilder.cpp#L1453) for example, the generated in `MCPlusBuilder` instruction list should be returned by value.
