[LLVMdev] Emit a jump instruction to a place inside basicblock

[Robin Morisset]

Hi,

>From my understanding of the LLVM IR, it is impossible to jump to the
middle of a Basic Block, only to its beginning. But there is a
splitBasicBlock function that seems like it might be useful to you, to make
sure a basic block is starting at the exact place you want to jump.

Best regards,
Robin
