     39 /// container of instructions that execute sequentially. Basic blocks are Values
     40 /// because they are referenced by instructions such as branches and switch
     41 /// tables. The type of a BasicBlock is "Type::LabelTy" because the basic block
     42 /// represents a label to which a branch can jump.

     45 /// instructions followed by a single TerminatorInst instruction.

     47 /// terminate the blocks. The BasicBlock class allows malformed basic blocks to
     48 /// occur because it may be useful in the intermediate stage of constructing or
