<p><i>Replacing individual instructions</i></p>
<p>
Including "<a
href="/doxygen/BasicBlock_8h-source.html">llvm/Transforms/Utils/BasicBlock.h
</a>" permits use of two very useful replace functions:
<tt>ReplaceInstWithValue</tt> and <tt>ReplaceInstWithInst</tt>.
<ul>
<li>ReplaceInstWithValue
<p>This function replaces all uses (within a basic block) of a given
instruction with a value, and then removes the original instruction.
The following example illustrates the replacement of the result of a
particular <tt>AllocaInst</tt> that allocates memory for a single
integer with an null pointer to an integer.</p>
<pre>
AllocaInst* instToReplace = ...;
ReplaceInstWithValue(*instToReplace->getParent(), instToReplace,
Constant::getNullValue(PointerType::get(Type::IntTy)));
</pre>
<li>ReplaceInstWithInst
<p>This function replaces a particular instruction with another
instruction. The following example illustrates the replacement of one
<tt>AllocaInst</tt> with another.<p>
<pre>
AllocaInst* instToReplace = ...;
ReplaceInstWithInst(*instToReplace->getParent(), instToReplace,
new AllocaInst(Type::IntTy, 0, "ptrToReplacedInt");
</pre>
</ul>
<p><i>Replacing multiple uses of <tt>User</tt>s and
<tt>Value</tt>s</i></p>
You can use <tt>Value::replaceAllUsesWith</tt> and
<tt>User::replaceUsesOfWith</tt> to change more than one use at a
time. See the doxygen documentation for the <a
href="/doxygen/classValue.html">Value Class</a> and <a
href="/doxygen/classUser.html">User Class</a>, respectively, for more
information.
