Yes, instrumenting functions is just one of my purpose. The API document
(though not very detailed) your provide is helpful. However, the problem of
the document is that it is not up-to-date. For example, "Type::Int32Ty" is
not used to acquire an integer type in LLVM2.9. So sometimes it cause
confusion to me.

Thanks.
