//===-- llvm/BasicBlock.h - Represent a basic block in the VM ----*- C++ -*--=//
//
// This file contains the declaration of the BasicBlock class, which represents
// a single basic block in the VM.
//
// Note that basic blocks themselves are Def's, because they are referenced
// by instructions like branches and can go in switch tables and stuff...
//
// This may see wierd at first, but it's really pretty cool.  :)
//
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// Note that well formed basic blocks are formed of a list of instructions 
// followed by a single TerminatorInst instruction.  TerminatorInst's may not
// occur in the middle of basic blocks, and must terminate the blocks.
//
// This code allows malformed basic blocks to occur, because it may be useful
// in the intermediate stage of analysis or modification of a program.

  // BB, including the old terminator.  The newly formed BasicBlock is returned.
  // This function invalidates the specified iterator.

  // Note that this only works on well formed basic blocks (must have a 
  // terminator), and 'I' must not be the end of instruction list (which would
  // cause a degenerate basic block to be formed, having a terminator inside of
  // the basic block).
