How to insert the first instruction to an empty basic block in llvm

Inserting a new llvm instruction to a non empty basic block
is indeed pretty straight forward: simply iterate existing instructions
until you reach the desired place and use the
newInst->insertBefore(thatInst);
command. However, when I look at the BasicBlock interface here,
I can't seem to find how to insert that first instruction?
I mean when a fresh basic block has just been allocated and it is still empty, how does one insert the first instruction inside? thanks!

You can use an IRBuilder like this:
llvm::IRBuilder builder(basicBlock);
builder.createAdd(...); // Replace "Add" as appropriate
Or, if you want to insert an already existing instruction object:
builder.insert(instruction);
