Since we don't have any control flow, our functions will only contain one
block so far. We'll fix this in a future installment :).</p>

<p>Once the insertion point is set up, we call the <tt>CodeGen()</tt> method for
the root expression of the function. If no error happens, this emits code to
compute the expression into the entry block and returns the value that was
computed. Assuming no error, we then create an LLVM <a
href="../LangRef.html#i_ret">ret instruction</a>. This completes the function,
which is then returned.</p>
href="../LangRef.html#i_ret">ret instruction</a>, which completes the function.
Once the function is built, we call the <tt>verifyFunction</tt> function, which
is provided by LLVM. This function does a variety of consistency checks on the
generated code, to determine if our compiler is doing everything right. Using
this is important: it can catch a lot of bugs. Once the function is finished
and validated, we return it.</p>
