[LLVMdev] How to avoid loopverify failures after replacing the backedge with an edge(latchBB to exitBB) in a looppass?

[zhiyuan yang]

Sorry for forgetting to reply all...

It works! Thank you very much!

But I also wonder how do you know this function will work while there are
no documents noticing that. I try learning LLVM by reading its code, but
soon feel lost in so many functions. Just like I have many tools, but don't
know which to use and what difference it could make. Is there some better
ways to learn LLVM?
