Yeah, so if not all uses can be replaced, my pass will just have to skip the variable. > Is it possible to design the pass to work with both? The general approach > is to make stuff handle

Hi, I've been struggling with constantexprs for a bit. I'm working on a pass that transforms global variables to local variables, and in particular the GetElementPtrConstantExpr is a bit troublesome. For my transformation to properly work, a global value should only be used by Instructions, not by ConstantExprs. I was thinking to add a ConstantExpr::replaceWithInstr() virtual method,
