||You can iterate over the statements contained within a superblock, add new statements, remove statements, etc.
I am successfully instrumenting code with Valgrind and I don’t really need super blocks (as yet). I was just curious about the Valgrind implementation. Traditionally, given: Inst-1 Inst-2 Cond branch Inst-4 Inst-5 All five instructions would be in the same super block, but Valgrind appears to create two basic blocks with Inst-1 to Cond branch in one ant Inst-4 and Inst-5 in a separate IRSB. So it appears to me as if these are basic blocks, not super blocks - what am I missing?
