[LLVMdev] how to change one operand of an LLVM instruction

[Susan Horwitz]

I am trying to implement node splitting to transform irreducible CFGS to 
reducible ones.  This means making copies of some basic blocks, which in 
turn means making copies of individual instructions.  I can use the 
"clone" function to make an exact copy, but then I need to change some 
operands. For example, when I copy
 	%1 = ...
 	%2 = add %1, 5

I get
 	%3 = ...
 	%4 = add %1, 5

and I need to change the %1 operand in the copy to be %3.

The only way I see to do this is to create a new instruction instead of a 
clone, using a big switch on the opcode (since different instructions' 
constructors have different parameters).

Anyone know of an easier way to do this?
