[LLVMdev] Transition C->bitcode->assembly->object looses frame pointers

[Alexander Potapenko]

Hi James,

We've indeed passed the appropriate (and even excessive) flags to the
appropriate pipeline parts, that is:

 llvm-gcc -O1 -fno-omit-frame-pointers -g $in -emit-llvm -S -o $name.ll
 llc --disable-fp-elim $name.ll -o $name.S
 g++ -fno-omit-frame-pointers -c $name.S

, but that didn't work

That is where the IR gets lowered, so is where the FP elimination takes place.
