[LLVMdev] Pass Question

[John Criswell]

Dear Jian,

Can you be more specific about what you don't understand?  Do you not 
know how to write an LLVM pass that can be loaded into opt, or do you 
not understand the API that an LLVM pass uses to instrument code?

In any event, make sure to read 
http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html.  It describes how to write 
a skeleton LLVM pass.
