[LLVMdev] One question about two passes interaction

[Scott Moore]

Hi Robert,

Function passes are expected to have local behavior that can be scheduled
on a per-function basis in no particular order. To get the behavior you
want, you probably want to make "FunctionPass1" a Module pass and have it
iterate through all of the functions in the module.

You can find more information about passes and how to choose a type of pass
in the llvm documentation at http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html.

Cheers,
Scott
