[PATCH] D61446: Generalize the pass registration mechanism used by Polly to any third-party tool

[Michael Kruse via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

Meinersbur added a comment.

Keep in mind that for static linking you will need something that pulls-in a symbol from the pass static library. In this patch, `NewPMDriver.cpp` does it for `opt` by calling `get##Ext##PluginInfo()`. In clang, it is `BackendUtil.cpp`. But nothing for `bugpoint` hence it doesn't contain either Polly not the Goodbye pass (However, llvm-reduce is in the works, we might consider bugpoint deprecated).

Could you add documentation for how to write a tool that uses loadable plugins to document the way it should be done?
