/// @brief Base class for instruction visitors
///
/// Instruction visitors are used when you want to perform different action for
/// different kinds of instruction without without having to use lots of casts 
/// and a big switch statement (in your code that is). 
///
/// To define your own visitor, inherit from this class, specifying your
/// new type for the 'SubClass' template parameter, and "override" visitXXX
/// functions in your class. I say "overriding" because this class is defined 
/// in terms of statically resolved overloading, not virtual functions.  
/// 
/// For example, here is a visitor that counts the number of malloc 
/// instructions processed:
///
///  /// Declare the class.  Note that we derive from InstVisitor instantiated
///  /// with _our new subclasses_ type.
///  ///
///  struct CountMallocVisitor : public InstVisitor<CountMallocVisitor> {
///    unsigned Count;
///    CountMallocVisitor() : Count(0) {}
///
///    void visitMallocInst(MallocInst &MI) { ++Count; }
///  };
///
///  And this class would be used like this:
///    CountMallocVistor CMV;
///    CMV.visit(function);
///    NumMallocs = CMV.Count;
///
/// The defined has 'visit' methods for Instruction, and also for BasicBlock,
/// Function, and Module, which recursively process all conained instructions.
///
/// Note that if you don't implement visitXXX for some instruction type,
/// the visitXXX method for instruction superclass will be invoked. So
/// if instructions are added in the future, they will be automatically
/// supported, if you handle on of their superclasses.
///
/// The optional second template argument specifies the type that instruction 
/// visitation functions should return. If you specify this, you *MUST* provide 
/// an implementation of visitInstruction though!.
///
/// Note that this class is specifically designed as a template to avoid
/// virtual function call overhead.  Defining and using an InstVisitor is just
/// as efficient as having your own switch statement over the instruction
/// opcode.
