[llvm-dev] What's the go-to method to call other transform passes in LLVM9?

[mayuyu.io via llvm-dev]

Hi:
I personally prefer method 2 in my use case, however, I currently modified PassManagerBuilder to inject my pass into the pipeline which means if I create another PassManagerBuilder in my pass it would be a deadloop.
