[llvm-dev] How to insert instructions before each function calls?

[SHUCAI YAO via llvm-dev]

Hi Dean,

Thank you very much.  I solved my problems by using the similar structure.

BTW, I saw there is a hacky way to do the relative jump in function
of LowerPATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTER. I think directional local symbol can
implement it too:

1. t = getDirectionalLocalSymbol  first;

2. jmp t

3. then emit  nops

4. createDirectionalLocalSymbol(t)

Hope it can help.

Thank you!
Shucai
