[llvm-dev] When I got a Operator by iterating a Value's User, how can I got the relevant Instruction?

[周书林 via llvm-dev]

Hi Michael,

Thank you very much!
I have a further question: if I want to get the dataflow of a target Value,
is there any way to handle these situations when iterate the Users?Or only
by iterator all the instructions and their operands?

Sincerely,
Shulin
