[LLVMdev] Generic question about llc asserts

[Carter, Jack]

In my experience assertions are a development tool and should not be a part of the user's experience.

With that in mind, do we expect the end user to ever invoke llc directly?

The reason I ask is that I directly gave llc some bogus command line input and it asserted.

Is it a bug that a graceful error message and exit from llc wasn't performed or is it considered "fair game" to generate an assertion because I didn't go through the larger tool chain?
