[LLVMdev] Cast instructions

[Robert L. Bocchino Jr.]

The following situation comes up a lot in what I'm doing.  I want to 
check if a value is a certain kind of instruction.  The test also needs 
to succeed if the value is a *cast* of the instruction (or a cast of a 
cast, etc.)  I.e., I need to "see through" any intervening casts to get 
to the "real" value.  It's trivial to write a function that does this, 
but does this functionality already exist somewhere in LLVM?  It's 
something I'd like to write once and use a lot.

Thanks,

Rob
