[cfe-dev] [bug?] How to use EmitLLVMOnlyAction in clang tool?

[Viktor Was BSc via cfe-dev]

I've realized now that the vector is not a Small String equivalent but is a vector of separate char pointers (argv).
Still, for some reason executing an EmitLLVMOnlyAction from a clang tool seems to fail for some reason.

Lldb always exits in CommandLineParser::ParseCommandLineOptions (lib/Support/CommandLine.cpp)
Line 1088 (clang 6.0.1):

'Program Name = sys::path::filename(StringRef(argv[0]));' 

The error... 

'Clang: Not enough positional command line arguments specified!' 

...makes no sense at this particular line.

The only usage of EmitLLVMOnlyAction in the llvm/clang repos seems to be in the clang-interpreter example and for some reason it works there.

Is there some setup missing or present in the ClangTool that screws something up?
