Subject: [DynInst_API:] Removed createInstPointAtAddr
Hi Andrew,

In the tools I've been prototyping with Dyninst 7.0, I've been making
use of BPatch_image::createInstPointAtAddr(void *address).  I started
looking at Dyninst git master, and that function has been removed.  I
tracked it to this commit:

> commit b42dfb6776a287fb5a4b211a3de92bf936549e51
> Author: Andrew Bernat <bernat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
> Date:   Mon Mar 21 13:49:02 2011 -0500
> 
>     Prototype of new graph transformation-based instrumentation approach.

That's a large commit, with changes in many places, but one of the
casualties is createInstPointAtAddr.

I do not see that this was marked internal or deprecated, so was the
removal an accident?  Is there another function that can achieve the
same result?

Thanks,
Josh
