[llvm-dev] Determining the order of instructions in BB

[Reid Kleckner via llvm-dev]

There are a few ways to do this, but in general there is not an O(1) way to
do this if your transform is doing arbitrary instruction insertion and
removal.

The basic approach is to iterate the list, so this is O(bb length).
`DominatorTree::dominates(Instruction*,Instruction*)` will do this for you.
The next is to use OrderedBasicBlock (or OrderedInstructions for a whole
function) to cache the instruction ordering.

Finally, I have this patch that I haven't found time to work on which
caches the numbering in Instruction itself: https://reviews.llvm.org/D51664
Just needs a few days of work to make it happen.
