//
// This file implements a handy way of adding debugging information to your
// code, without it being enabled all of the time, and without having to add
// command line options to enable it.
//
// In particular, just wrap your code with the LLVM_DEBUG() macro, and it will
// be enabled automatically if you specify '-debug' on the command-line.
// LLVM_DEBUG() requires the DEBUG_TYPE macro to be defined. Set it to "foo"
// specify that your debug code belongs to class "foo". Be careful that you only
// do this after including Debug.h and not around any #include of headers.
// Headers should define and undef the macro acround the code that needs to use
// the LLVM_DEBUG() macro. Then, on the command line, you can specify
// '-debug-only=foo' to enable JUST the debug information for the foo class.
//
// When compiling without assertions, the -debug-* options and all code in
// LLVM_DEBUG() statements disappears, so it does not affect the runtime of the
// code.
