[llvm-dev] How to use stack maps

[Philip Reames via llvm-dev]

p.s. the stackmap format is intended to be transcoded into whatever 
internal format you might want.  It's not expected to be a long lived 
data structure.  Given that, the format prioritizes simplicity over size 
and efficiency of access.

The format itself is documented here:
