llvm dev - Sep 2014 - [LLVMdev] codeview debug info in Visual Studio

Hi Carlo,

Do you have VS2010 handy?  It should read the DI fine.

Unfortunately, VS2013 is not able to use the debug info we generate.
It is on my plans to investigate and fix the generator, but I didn't have
enough free cycles recently.
