llvm dev - Sep 2012 - [LLVMdev] metadata

Hi Everyone,
   I am processing instructions in a module and I would like to avoid
"call void @llvm.dbg.declare ..." instructions as they just provide
debug
info
about a given instruction. Is there a way to avoid these instructions
without
having to turn off the -g option? Thanks.

George

Do you mean the metadata or the intrinsics? You can check for the intrinsic
and just skip them. Look at some of the transform passes on how to do that.
