You can get the source from

    https://github.com/sdressler/KernelDataFlow

There are some flaws in the code:

- assert is not always used as it is intended to be, i.e. mostly its
within an if-statement and simply performs "assert(0)" with a preceding
error message.

- It can happen that not all instructions are handled. In such a case
you could extend it yourself or write me an email with the code that fails.

- If you are calling the pass from another directory than the one with
the source, don't forget to "mkdir graphs", otherwise subgraphs (which
are related to blocks) will not be generated.


If there are any further questions, don't hesitate to write me. The pass
is at a very early stage, but hopefully it gets some more quality when
someone else uses it.


Cheers,
Sebastian
