[llvm-dev] [GSoC] First draft project proposal; IR level interpreter debugger

[Philip Reames via llvm-dev]

I've scanned over your proposal, but am not quite sure I understand your 
objective.  Is your intent to be able to step through IR source in a 
debugger and inspect intermediate state?  If so, you may consider 
whether "simply" inserting debug metatadata into your IR which describes 
the IR source, and then compiling it gives you your desired result.

For the record, the current interpreter is poorly maintained, known to 
be somewhat buggy, and I don't believe anyone is actively working on it.
