I am wondering how I can prevent LLVM from doing re-ordering them, or even reset the AllocaInst numbers, so the newly added AllocaInst can be inserted between the existing and original local variables?
As far as I know you can't. LLVM makes no guarantees about stack layout at any point.
What you almost certainly need to do is replace the original alloca with one big enough to contain both the data and the metadata. You can use ReplaceAllUsesWith directly on the new alloca for the existing uses, and then your metadata handling would GEP into it before access to get to the right part.
Cheers.
Tim.
