[LLVMdev] dependent passes

[Ryan M. Lefever]

I think that we are talking about two different things.  I understand 
that in order to use LLVM classes you must either qualify them with the 
llvm namespace or use the statement "using namespace llvm;"  What I'm 
saying is that it has been my experience that when a pass Y depends on 
another pass X, i.e, Y is a required analysis of X, then Y must be 
defined within the llvm namespace rather than in an anonymous namespace 
as http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html suggests it should be. 
I'm wondering if that is correct, or if I'm missing something.

Regards,
Ryan
