[LLVMdev] slotindex:getIndex

[Lang Hames]

Hi Shrey,

Could you clarify what you're trying to do?

If there is a single defining instruction for a LiveRange you can get its
SlotIndex from the VNInfo structure attached to the live range.
If you want to search through definitions of a virtual register you can do
that with the def_iterators in MachineRegisterInfo.

Some things to keep in mind: SlotIndexes do not track source lines, they
only provide a full ordering of MachineInstrs for the purpose of register
allocation and related passes. There is no public access to the number
underlying a SlotIndex. This is by design, as they are intended to provide
ordering only.

Cheers,
Lang.
