[llvm-dev] Global or Local variable different builder behavior

[Michael Kruse via llvm-dev]

With 'A' being a global variable, the GEP becomes a ConstantExpr
(GetElementPtrConstantExpr instead of GetElementPtrInst) since all of
its arguments are constant. ConstantExpr are "free-floating", i.e. not
int a BasicBlock's instruction list and therefore only appear in the
printout when used.
