[llvm-dev] How to generate a .ll file with functions' parameter names

[Alberto Barbaro via llvm-dev]

Hi Hideto,
thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I'm still using llvm 6.0 and in
llvm-dis I don't see that option. I tried reading the full list of options
but I didn't see an alternative.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks
Alberto
