[LLVMdev] using -debug-ir to map identify IR mapping

[Muneeb Khan]

After the initial success I tried compiling several benchmarks with the -debug-ir enabled, but failed on most of them.
In one of the benchmarks I get the following assertion error in llc (after the opt -debug-ir pass) 

llc: DwarfUnit.cpp:963: llvm::DIE* llvm::DwarfUnit::getOrCreateTypeDIE(const llvm::MDNode*): Assertion `ContextDIE’ failed

and in another benchmark I get this assertion error from opt (when using the -debug-ir) pass

opt: DataLayout.cpp:632: unsigned int llvm::DataLayout::getAlignment(llvm::Type*, bool) const: Assertion `Ty->isSized() && "Cannot getTypeInfo() on a type that is unsized!"’ failed

The -debug-ir pass does not work seamlessly. It may work for some applications if you’re lucky.

This should probably be part of DIBuilder in some way or another so that clients don't have to duplicate this string, etc.
