<p class="MsoNormal">Looking at PassManagerBuilder can be useful because there are sometimes comments giving some idea of the intent of the particular choice of passes, but it can be difficult to see the big picture of all the passes that are run because it
is very parameterized and split across multiple subroutines.<o:p></o:p></p>
