llvm dev - Sep 2016 - How a module pass can use analysis information?

I am trying to write a llvm module pass by overriding the
runOnModule(Module &M), but my pass needs the RegioinInfo analysis to find
regions to get my pass working.

I tried to do the following in my module pass:
    RegionInfoPass RIP;
    if (RIP.runOnFunction(*F1)) {
      assert(false && "Failed to run runOnFunction");
    }
    RegionInfo *RI =
&RIP.getAnalysis<RegionInfoPass>().getRegionInfo();
    RI->dump();
It compiles without problem, but when I run it, I got the following errors:
    AnalysisType&llvm::Pass::getAnalysis() const [with AnalysisType
llvm::RegionInfoPass]:
    Assertion `Resolver && "Pass has not been inserted into a
PassManager
object!"' failed.

I also tried to use RGPassManager as below:
    RGPassManager RGPM;
    if (RGPM.runOnFunction(*F1)) {
      assert(false && "Failed to run runOnFunction");
    }
Again, it compiles without problem, but when I run it, I got the same
errors as above.

Is anyone can show me what is the correct way for a module pass to use
RegionInfo analysis?

Thanks,
Ming-Hwa

Using the legacy pass manager, it is generally not possible to use
lower-level passes (The only exception is that module passes can use
function passes using `getOnTheFlyPass`).

You can still create your own pass manager hierachy. An example is here:
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/polly/trunk/lib/CodeGen/CodegenCleanup.cpp?revision=274595&view=markup

You need to create a whole stack of pass managers. Unfortunately I
don't know how to reuse the dependent analyses from the 'main' pass
manager stack (eg. TargetLibraryInfoWrapperPass)
