[llvm-dev] Getting a BasicBlock address

[David Greene via llvm-dev]

Is there a defined way to get the address of a BasicBlock as a value?
According to the language reference, any use outside of indirectbr and
comparison against null is undefined.  There is some wording about
targets possibly allowing use in inline assembly.  Is that really the
only option?  Is there anything a pass can query to see if it is allowed
for a target?  I don't see anything like that in TTI.

I found this hand-wavy post:

http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2014-March/071542.html

However, that seems to go against the language rules and could break at
any time.  In particular, what happens if the BasicBlock is optimized
away (merged with another block, etc.)?

Thanks!
