In general it's good to tell us why something didn't work (error
messages, assertions etc). In this case I'd guess it's because the
types don't match up: you probably have to wrap your int in a
ConstantExpr::getPointerCast to the same type you're replacing.

Nothing good. You have to copy the function (and its dependencies)
into the new module yourself. CloneFunction will probably be helpful
there, or maybe just linking the modules together.

Cheers.

Tim.
