[llvm-dev] Memory Requirements For Compiling PassBuilder.cpp

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

Probably the simple thing that might help would be to split up the file a
bit - especially the functions that include PassRegistry.def as part of
their implementation. I'm guessing the parse.*Pass functions are the worst
parts and having each of those in a separate file is probably helpful.

Other than that - actually changing the constructs to use less memory
overall, I'm not sure.
