[LLVMdev] Need guidance regarding MachineFunctionPass

Hello Mr. Tim,

Thanks to you and others from 'llvmdev-list', I have successfully
implemented the MachineFunctionPass. But when I examine the output using
'hexedit' I see that only some portion of the .text section is effected by
my pass. I was expecting the pass to modify large portion of the .text
section. Kindly tell me if a MachineFunctionPass runs only on some selected
portions of the .text section. Is there a way to make it run on larger
portion of the .text section?
The skeleton of my code is:








*bool MyPass::runOnMachineFunction(MachineFunction &FNC)for
(MachineFunction::iterator MFN = FNC.begin(), End = FNC.end(); MFN != End;
++MFN)     for (MachineBasicBlock::iterator I = MFN->begin(); I !=
MFN->end(); )     {         MachineBasicBlock::iterator NewI =
std::next(I);        **Do the Stuff*

*        I = NewI;    } *
