[LLVMdev] insert nop instruction

[David Chisnall]

Hi,

What are you trying to achieve?  Inserting NOPs into LLVM IR is likely to be pointless, as optimisations (in the IR or SelectionDAG) will remove them before machine code generation.  If you want to insert NOPs into the generated machine code, then this will not help you (you could insert inline assembly containing nops into the IR).
