llvm dev - Jun 2005 - [LLVMdev] how to use LoopInfo outside of LLVM

Hi,

My project is outside of LLVM. Now I need get LoopInfo for a function. I know
that if my project were a pass inside LLVM. I can get LoopInfo by
"AU.addRequired<LoopInfo>()" and
"getAnalysis<LoopInfo>()". Also I know I can get a function pass
by "llvm::FunctionPass* dce = llvm::createDeadCodeEliminationPass();
dce->runOnFunction(*func)" outside of LLVM. But I can't figure out a
way to get LoopInfo outside of LLVM. Is there any possible way to do it?

Thanks,
-Junjuan

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean by "outside of llvm".  You should be
able to
just make a pass manager and add an instance of the LoopInfo class to it.

Using runOnFunction like you do above is not a great idea: some passes 
initialize themselves and depend on other passes.  See this document for 
more information:
