[LLVMdev] How can I see what opt tries to delete at the end of a pass?

[Griffin Wright]

ValGrind gives me some info, but I'm not great at memory stuff, and so I'm
not sure what to make of it... This is code that worked for someone 8
months ago, and I'm just trying to get it to run on llvm 2.9 instead of
2.8, so the fact that it hasn't been working is frustrating.  Anyway, my
issues seem to stem from IntervalIterator, as seen below.  I have a lot of
similar issues going back to IntervalIterator, generally involving invalid
reads and writes of size 4.  Any idea what that could mean?

Thanks,
Griffin
