Why this addition? (the comment talk about function argument)

The code path seems funky, it seem that the body should always be executed right now or you hit the error.

To be sure I understand correctly, in case of a loop you'll generate some instruction (only PHI?) "at the wrong place" and then when you see them again you move them where they should be?

As to not run CloneInstruction at all if the instruction already was generated.

Argument should be already generated, instruction may or may not be already generated.

208

If an instruction use as argument another instruction from a basic block that isn't generated yet, the instruction can't be generated at the right place (this place do not exists yet). So, if we end up there and have a match, it means we are trying to generate an instruction that already where generated as a dependency. We don't need to regenerate the instruction, but we need to make sure it is at the right place.

What I mean is that I don't see how removing the "if" entirely would change anything (inline the then body in the parent) here.

208

Sure but you could (I am not saying you should) use a placeholder with value tracking instead of generating the instruction at the wrong place the first time you see it.

No because now, the instruction would be moved around.

208

What do you suggest as a placeholder ? Many things are uniqued so replaceAllUsesWith tends to fail horribly.

Ok here is what I think the semantic is:

    assert((LLVMIsAArgument(Src) || LLVMIsAInstruction(Src)) && "unexpected");

    // Function argument should always be in the map already.
    auto i = VMap.find(Src);
    if (i != VMap.end())
     return i->second;

    // Instruction only are possible at this point
    assert(LLVMIsAInstruction(Src) && "unexpected");

    auto Builder = LLVMCreateBuilderInContext(Ctx);
   auto BB = DeclareBB(LLVMGetInstructionParent(Src));
   LLVMPositionBuilderAtEnd(Builder, BB);
   auto Dst = CloneInstruction(Src, Builder);
   LLVMDisposeBuilder(Builder);
   return Dst;
}
