Hello. Can I use debugging options such as 'step', 'next'(in gdb) also in LLVM bugpoint? Thank you.
Seung, Bugpoint is not a debugger. Please see: http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/html/bugpoint.html Reid.

The answer is no, but this is because bugpoint is not a debugger like gdb. Bugpoint is a program that reduces testcases that trigger bugs in LLVM passes. Often times in LLVM development, some large LLVM bytecode file triggers a bug in a set of LLVM passes. It is difficult to know what LLVM passes are responsible for the failure or what part of the input is triggering the problem. Bugpoint automates the process of narrowing down where a bug is and what input is triggering it.
