[llvm-dev] Question about llvm::Value::print performance

[Dr.-Ing. Christoph Cullmann via llvm-dev]

Hi,

I want to use llvm::Value::print to output the assembly strings for llvm::Instructions
inside a rather large llvm::Module (linked module with lots of types/...).

I started with plain ::print and switched over to 

http://llvm.org/docs/doxygen/html/classllvm_1_1Value.html#a04e6fc765eeb0c4c90ac5d55113db116

with a ModuleSlotTracker I pass in myself to avoid some complexity.

Still now I have the issue that the TypeFinder::run and related that is done internally
by each print still is 99% of my program runtime. (at least perf tells me that)

Is there any clever workaround for this?

I looked a bit through the sources but it seems that no API is exported that would allow a faster print
call.

Given I want the output only more or less as "debugging" annotation to my graph, is there some other
"fast" way to print instructions, even if some info is missing then?

Greetings
Christoph
