``llvm::Instruction`` provides easy access to metadata attached with an
instruction. One can extract line number information encoded in LLVM IR using
-``Instruction::getMetadata()`` and ``DILocation::getLineNumber()``.
+``Instruction::getDebugLoc()`` and ``DILocation::getLine()``.
.. code-block:: c++
- if (MDNode *N = I->getMetadata("dbg")) { // Here I is an LLVM instruction
- DILocation Loc(N); // DILocation is in DebugInfo.h
- unsigned Line = Loc.getLineNumber();
- StringRef File = Loc.getFilename();
- StringRef Dir = Loc.getDirectory();
+ if (DILocation *Loc = I->getDebugLoc()) { // Here I is an LLVM instruction
+ unsigned Line = Loc->getLine();
+ StringRef File = Loc->getFilename();
+ StringRef Dir = Loc->getDirectory();
}
