llvm dev - May 2015 - [LLVMdev] Extending AsmPrinterHandler

Hey everyone,

I'm looking into extending AsmPrinterHandler out of tree, to communicate
information back to the CoreCLR EE, but all of the headers are in the lib
directory. Is there any way to extend it out of tree, or is that not supported?
The reason I'd like to do this out of tree is because we want to include clr
headers as well, and we don't want to introduce that into llvm sources.

Thanks,
Michelle

We generally don't extend the AsmPrinter... can you be more specific about
what you're trying to do?

I work on the LLILC team, and we are trying to send debug line info through to
the CoreCLR EE without using an EventListener because we need to send extra info
(more than just available in DebugLoc) like if it’s a call instruction, a call
site, etc. We thought extending AsmPrinterHandler would be useful since it seems
to have information about debug locations, label offsets, and instruction
specific information.
