59 /// This represents a single basic block in LLVM. A basic block is simply a
60 /// container of instructions that execute sequentially. Basic blocks are Values
61 /// because they are referenced by instructions such as branches and switch
62 /// tables. The type of a BasicBlock is "Type::LabelTy" because the basic block
63 /// represents a label to which a branch can jump.
65 /// A well formed basic block is formed of a list of non-terminating
66 /// instructions followed by a single TerminatorInst instruction.
67 /// TerminatorInst's may not occur in the middle of basic blocks, and must
68 /// terminate the blocks. The BasicBlock class allows malformed basic blocks to
69 /// occur because it may be useful in the intermediate stage of constructing or
70 /// modifying a program. However, the verifier will ensure that basic blocks
71 /// are "well formed".
