Hi llvm-dev,

 

Given an instruction, is there a standard way in llvm, such as a function or

methodology, to determine its most-immediate dominator from a set?

Many thanks,

Orlando

Hi Orlando,

If I understand correctly, you should be able to use `DT::findNearestCommonDominator` [1]. Because this function takes 2 blocks at a time, you'd need to call it in a loop. Basically NCD(B1, B2, B3, ...) = NCD(NCD(B1, B2), B3, ...).

Sincerely,
Jakub

That looks useful, thanks for the help.
