[LLVMdev] How to get trace using llvm?

[John Criswell]

Dear Tushar,

What sort of trace do you need?  We have a dynamic tracing tool for an 
older version of LLVM that allows one to do dynamic backwards slicing.  
Would this tool serve your purpose?  If so, I believe we can send you a 
copy (we have plans to release the code in the LLVM SVN repository but 
have not had the resources to do it yet).
