[LLVMdev] dynamic passes

[Chuck Zhao]

I think you will have to add the passes anyway before asking the pass 
manager object to run.
In addition, you can specify some dependency, so that that non relevant 
pass will not have a chance to run. The PassManager should be able to 
figure that out given the runtime conditions.
