[LLVMdev] Selection DAG output as bare DAG, code review

[Sean Silva]

It's not going to be that helpful to just look at the edges, since the
edges "come out of" and "go into" different parts of the nodes, and
that is really important information. I've attached a simple example
of what it looks like. I made that with Mathematica, with:

g = Import["/tmp/llvm_Cnrx9F/dag.setit.dot", {"DOT", "EdgeRules"}];
Graph[Union[g], ImageSize -> {400, 400}]

Note that this won't scale. That BB was trivial (I believe it was one
assignment). Once you get into anything more complicated, it's just
going to become a ball of spaghetti without the node info.

If you realy want to, you take the dot files produced by
`-view-dag-combine1-dags` and friends
<http://llvm.org/docs/CodeGenerator.html#selectiondag-instruction-selection-process>
and then do some postprocessing to get it into the form that you want.
