llvm dev - Nov 2015 - Removing metadata from LLVM Instruction

Hi,

an older thread about removing metadata says to use “setMetadata(Kind, nullptr)”
to drop the metadata from the instruction.
I have using this method without success.
When I look at inside the IR code the metadata are still there, any idea why is
that?

Thanks.
Best,
Simone

That should work.  Can you reproduce this ToT?

I think it actually works, but it does not really remove the metadata from the
.ll file when clang outputs it.
