[llvm-dev] bugpoint --tool-args and --safe-tool-args

[Matthias Braun via llvm-dev]

This is what works for me, when I want to reduce an llc failure triggering a failure with a "foo bar baz" in the assert message (the grep for the error message avoids reducing to an unrelated failure):

$ cat run_llc.sh
#!/bin/sh
if ! $HOME/dev/llvm/build/bin/llc "$@" 2>&1 | grep "foo bar baz"; then
	exit 0
else
	exit $?
fi

$ PATH=$HOME/path/to/my/llvm/build/bin:$PATH bugpoint -compile-custom -compile-command ./run_llc.sh test.ll
