[LLVMdev] introspecting debug info from the JIT

[Reid Kleckner]

Unfortunately, LLVM doesn't really know how to generate debug info for
JITed code yet.  All it can tell you or a debugger is the symbol and
the unwind information for unwinding exceptions through JITed code.

Hopefully the MC JIT will make that problem go away.
