[LLVMdev] Extracting the global variables accessed by individual function with function pass

you will have to write your own pass to do this.  For each global, visit each
of its uses (via use_begin, use_end).  If the use is a constant (isa<Constant>),
visit each of its uses too (do this recursively until you aren't visiting
constants any more).  If a use isn't a constant, check whether it's parent
(getParent) is the function you are interested in.  The point of recursing on
constant uses is that the global may be used in a constant expression (eg a
constant bitcast) before actually being used by an instruction.

Ciao, Duncan.
