Hi, I am using mcjit in llvm 3.6 to jit kernels to x86 avx2. I've noticed some inefficient use of the stack around constant vectors. In one example, I have code that computes a series of constant vectors at compile time. Each vector has a single use. In the final asm, I see a series of spills at the top of the function of all the constant vectors immediately to stack, then each use references

We have implemented a debug pass to enable debugging of jitted functions. The pass dumps the IR of the module at the beginning of the pass, which then becomes the source code for the debug metadata. Our solution focuses on a windows x86 solution but I’m sure it would be easy to extend to other platforms. In order to load the resulting debugging info into Visual Studio, we jit to object file then
