[llvm-dev] Is there a way to determine what CPU resource is used by which instruction?

MachineInstr has a  uint8_t AsmPrinterFlags, which I want to use to pass information from the scheduler to AsmPrinter about which resource is used. I've asked on the IRC channel how to do it but nobody seems to know. A scheduling debug log was also mentioned (supposedly it should provide me with the same information) but I don't know how to generate one.

Look for a #define like this in the llvm CodeGen files:
#define DEBUG_TYPE “misched"

This allows you to use
llc -debug-only=misched
or
clang -mllvm -ldebug-only=misched

to enable the debugging output for that file/topic. You may use the flag multiple times to enable multiple debugging outputs.
