            Bug ID: 40875
           Summary: [feature suggestion] Please split out dump() and other
                    debug functionality into a separate library
           Product: Runtime Libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: other
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

The Intel's ISPC compiler [1] and flang compiler expect dump() function to be
present while it is commonly excluded in the packages. LLVM_ENABLE_DUMP is a
relevant cmake variable.

It is difficult to build LLVM with custom options for individual other
projects.

Suggested solution:
Please add a separate library that would contain functions disabled by
LLVM_ENABLE_DUMP=OFF, for example libLLVMDebug.so

This library can be installed as a sub-package, or as a separate package, and
would eliminate the problem.
