[llvm-commits] [PATCH][RFC] Disable data region directives

[Rafael Espíndola]

> I can definitely get behind upwards and onwards.  At the same time, I have to support the past.  As such, I think this is a low-impact change.  There's a precedence of similar options like -disable-cfi and -disable-dot-loc, and this patch is following in that mold.

The disable-cfi option was implemented a long time ago when first
adding cfi to MC, when MC itself was somewhat new and llvm-gcc still
lived. For now I consider it mostly a debug tool until llvm-objdump
does a better job at dumping EH sections.

Once you have done your magic with the assembly, can't you use the
integrated assembler? Just using "clang -c" should do it. If the
integrated assembler is missing some feature you need that is
something we should fix.
