Data-flow informations (CFG)

Truth. The CFC of GCC does not have the DECLARATIONS. =(

I know that declarations is not in a block of the CFG in fact. But if
we analyze the code, a declaration always is a "part" of a block too.
So, there is no way to see in which block a declaration was made?

Thanks,
Harry
