Hi Tyler,

Doesn't look right. Would you mind attaching the test?

Btw, instead of creating an empty function and CloneFunctionInto, can you just CloneFunction?

I'm trying to create a clone of a function using Function::Create() and CloneFunctionInto. However, I'm running into an issue. I believe that the instructions in the function clone still have Use edges to values in the original function. This is a problem for my purposes.

For example, consider an original function F. I create a new function G belonging to the same module and call CloneFunctionInto(G, F) to copy over the function body. Now, consider a phi node p in F, and an instruction I in F which uses p. The problem is, the cloned phi node p' in G still lists I as a user. Is this intended behavior? And if so, is there a way I can remove these Use edges in my cloned function? Thanks, Tyler
