llvm::ModuleToFunctionPassAdaptor

Declared in <llvm/IR/PassManager.h>

Designed to allow composition of a FunctionPass(Manager) and a ModulePassManager, by running the FunctionPass(Manager) over every function in the module.

Function passes run within this adaptor can rely on having exclusive access to the function they are run over. They should not read or modify any other functions! Other threads or systems may be manipulating other functions in the module, and so their state should never be relied on. FIXME: Make the above true for all of LLVM's actual passes, some still violate this principle.

Function passes can also read the module containing the function, but they should not modify that module outside of the use lists of various globals. For example, a function pass is not permitted to add functions to the module. FIXME: Make the above true for all of LLVM's actual passes, some still violate this principle.

Note that although function passes can access module analyses, module analyses are not invalidated while the function passes are running, so they may be stale. Function analyses will not be stale.
