[PATCH] D40778: [DebugIR] Revive the Debug IR pass. [Added llvm-commits]

[Siddharth via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

bollu added a comment.

Regarding `StripDebugInfo`, I did not know it existed. I should refactor the code to use it, I assume? I'll check this out.

About being a pass or not - I don't understand what this sentence means, @vsk :

> Implementing -debugir in the LL reader has other advantages, e.g it allows you to mark up the LL file with comments or edit it, then re-compile & debug again

Why would this not work if it were a pass as well? Because the comments would be stripped away in the LLVM module?
