[LLVMdev] collect end line number for scope

[Devang Patel]

Pankaj,

If you want to decorate MachineInstrs then for the end of scope you're not looking at "}" but instead you're looking at _last_ machine instruction in that scope. Now, if you want to find out start and end MachineInstrs for a lexical scope (and corresponding line numbers) then see CodeGen/LexicalScopes pass. It collects lexical scope information and maps MIs to respective lexical scopes.

You can access the line number for the last statement/expression in the scope. See http://llvm.org/docs/SourceLevelDebugging.html#ccxx_compile_units for a code snippet on how to get line number from an llvm instruction.
