[LLVMdev] collect end line number for scope

[Pankaj Gode]

Hi,
 
I had a look at CodeGen/LexicalScopes and decided to use it. I contains almost everything I want (other attributes can be easily extracted).  
As I am using llvm 2.9 and can't migrate to the latest llvm as of now, so I am using the LexicalScopes information while printing.
 
Thanks. 
 
Pankaj

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.
