[llvm-dev] llvm::opt::ArgStringList const char* vs llvm::StringRef

[<Alexander G. Riccio> via llvm-dev]

I noticed that ArgStringList - a very widely used type - uses raw const
char* to hold strings, instead of wonderfully useful StringRef helper. Is
there a technical reason for this? Does ArgStringList predate StringRef? Is
it just that ArgStringList is too widely used to make any kind of breaking
change?


Sincerely,
