llvm dev - Jan 2012 - [LLVMdev] context/scope of instruction

Hello,
I need to know how I get the LLVM::IDScope object of an instruction.

My program contains:
call void (...)* @commit(), !dbg !16

!16 = metadata !{i32 16, i32 5, metadata !8, null}

!8 = metadata !{i32 589835, metadata !4, i32 10, i32 1, metadata !2, i32 0} ; [
DW_TAG_lexical_block ]



LLVM::Instruction.hasMetadata() is 0

I got LLVM::Scope for variables over DIGlobalVariable.getContext() and
DIVariable.getContext() but how do I get it for instructions?

Regards
Christian Jacobs

!8 is DIScope here (actually it is DILexicalBlock, which is derived from
DIScope).

I know. I am writing an LLVM pass and I do not know how I get a hand on the
DIScope object.
Which method(s) of the LLVM C++ API do I have to call to get a pointer or
reference (!8) to the LLVM::DIScope of an LLVM::Instruction?
