...gcc and dragon-egg still uses DIFactory and debug info quality has remained same. This says the IR used to encode debug has not been impacted by DIBuilder vs. DIFactory. Note, DIBuilder etc.. are utilities sued to produce IR, not the interface defined by the IR. In other words, replacement of of OldIRBuilder interface with NewIRBuilder has nothing to do with stability of llvm IR documented by LangRef.html. > What I'm proposing is a simple rule-set, enforced by a validation > pass, that will reject dubious metadata.

...ails of the order and types of metadata information in each IR statement. That's probably the reason why, in my case (and probably Talin's), it all blew up. > Note, DIBuilder etc.. are utilities sued to produce IR, not the interface defined by the IR.  In other words, replacement of of OldIRBuilder interface with NewIRBuilder has nothing to do with stability of llvm IR documented by LangRef.html. Yes, I know. I'm more concerned with the 'what' and not the 'how'. For me, an up-to-date documentation on what's strictly needed to produce legal Dwarf with a clear, short, e...

Go ahead and check svn archives for last one year and see how many times I had to update llvm-gcc FE. Hi Devang, First, I'm not attacking anyone. I said before and will say again: the work you've done is
