Hi Duncan,

This patch plus  another small change fixes the assertion failure for
me.  With the patch alone, the void* overload of addGarbageObject()
was being used by MDNode::getTemporary(), so I had to cast the object as
an MDNode*:

diff --git a/lib/IR/Metadata.cpp b/lib/IR/Metadata.cpp
index cd5edd2..916d216 100644
--- a/lib/IR/Metadata.cpp
+++ b/lib/IR/Metadata.cpp
@@ -564,7 +564,7 @@ MDNode *MDNode::getMDNode(LLVMContext &Context,
ArrayRef<Metadata *> MDs,
 MDNodeFwdDecl *MDNode::getTemporary(LLVMContext &Context,
                                     ArrayRef<Metadata *> MDs) {
   MDNodeFwdDecl *N = new (MDs.size()) MDNodeFwdDecl(Context, MDs);
-  LeakDetector::addGarbageObject(N);
+  LeakDetector::addGarbageObject((MDNode*)N);
   return N;
 }


I'm in favor of committing this.
