[LLVMdev] Accessing instruction/operand names

[Milos Puzovic]

Hi James,

Names of the values may be missing so you shouldn't use them to keep track
of values or map between them. If you need to keep the map the best thing
would be to use std::map of the pointers referencing to the Value itself.

Names are mostly used for the debugging information.

Milos.
