[LLVMdev] CFG Customization

[rubiano]

Hi John, thank you for your answer.

Sorry if I was not clear ^^'

I try to build a RCG (Resource Control Graph) which is a CFG with a 
weight.
In my case, this weight corresponds to the number of heap allocations.
Then I want to add this weight to each node (then basic block) of this 
graph.

I think that a CFG is a GraphTraits<BasicBlock*> then I suppose that 
this RCG will be
a GraphTraits<MyBasicBlock*>
"MyBasicBlock" can be an object like BasicBlock with a weight. 
(inherited or not?)

I think that with this kind of graph it will be easier to detect "non 
size increasing"
functions or loops.

My question is : what is the best way to build this graph ?

Thanks again,

Thomas
