llvm dev - Jun 2004 - [LLVMdev] Instruction ctor: insertBefore

Hi,
the insertBefore parameter, present in all constructors, is declared like 
this:

    Instruction *InsertBefore=0

any reason there's no "const" before "Instruction"

?

Vladimir,

Instructions are members of a linked list. Consequently if you insert
some Instruction, that instruction gets changed. So, its not const.

Simple enough?

Yes, thank you.

I started thinking if "mutable" is right here, but that's long
philosophical
issue ;-)
