This patch references other local changes I have to other parts of the code (e.g. "FastMathFlags"), but shows the general idea I'm going for. When I've ironed out all the bugs, I'll attach a series of patches for all the other content.

Michael,

Ah I see.  So this just becomes a matter of interpretation of bits in the optimization flags.  Shouldn't need to promote the CurVersion.

Nitpick: 80-cols in BitcodeReader.cpp

Since Instruction::FastMathFlags is a class, seems like the constructor could take in Record[OpNum] , and assign the flags.

Looking forward to the full patch.
