[llvm-dev] Dumping debug information from BC files

[Reid Kleckner via llvm-dev]

The debug information is actually still in a different format in the .bc
file, it is LLVM metadata. I think the best reference for it is here:
https://llvm.org/docs/SourceLevelDebugging.html#ccxx-frontend

You can dump it just by disassembling the .bc file to textual IR using
llvm-dis and examining the !DI* metadata nodes. You will have to run the
file through llc to generate an object file to generate actual CodeView or
DWARF.
