[cfe-dev] Reproducing Clang behavior using opt

[Chandler Carruth]

Try '-mllvm -debug-pass=Arguments' -- it should help you understand what
passes Clang is running.

You should also look at 'opt -help-hidden'. There are a ton of debugging
and printing options, many of which can be passed through a Clang
compilation using '-mllvm'.
