[llvm-dev] Improving textual IR format for nameless blocks (original) (raw)

After watching a few different people get confused about nameless blocks in llvm IR, and recalling my own confusion a few years ago, I'd like to change the syntax slightly to make it a bit clearer.

This is similar to the change made for instruction names in https://llvm.org/PR2480 a decade ago.

Two changes:

  1. Change the parsing of a numeric block label to parse as a value number rather than a string.
  2. When printing blocks, always print the value number as a proper label, except for the initial block.
