Got you. Will do.

> This function, when called with arguments `-mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer` will not hit the code you've added here, and will instead return `true`. That doesn't seem like a sensible result given the desired change to these flags. If something *else* is causing us to still not use leaf frame pointers, that doesn't make the code here correct, it makes me question how this works at all (and how we are testing it).
I see your point here. The logic is very confusing indeed.

It looks better if
s/shouldUseFramePointer/addFlagDisableFPElim
s/shouldUseLeafFramePointer/addFlagOmitLeafFramePointer

to show that here only decides compiler flag instead of the final code.

I think the correct way to handle these is to replace `-mdisable-fp-elim` and `-momit-leaf-frame-pointer` compiler flags with one, say `frame-pointer-model` = {KeepAll, OmitAll, KeepNonLeaf}, and let the driver decide `frame-pointer-model` here. The downside is that it affects compiler user unless we bridge deprecating flags on to new flag with some rules.

-// Oy_2: -momit-leaf-frame-pointer
+// Oy_2: -mdisable-fp-elim
 // Oy_2: -O2

Sure. It would be great to have them to confirm.
