Detailed Description

This file declares helper objects for defining debug options that can be configured via the command line.

The new API currently builds on the cl::opt API, but does not require the use of static globals.

With this API options are registered during initialization. For passes, this happens during pass initialization. Passes with options will call a static registerOptions method during initialization that registers options with the OptionRegistry. An example implementation of registerOptions is:

static void registerOptions() { OptionRegistry::registerOption<bool, Scalarizer, &Scalarizer::ScalarizeLoadStore>( "scalarize-load-store", "Allow the scalarizer pass to scalarize loads and store", false); }

When reading data for options the interface is via the LLVMContext. Option data for passes should be read from the context during doInitialization. An example of reading the above option would be:

ScalarizeLoadStore = M.getContext().getOption<bool, Scalarizer, &Scalarizer::ScalarizeLoadStore>();
