[llvm-dev] Metadata/DebugInfo in *.ll file

[Norbert Dajka via llvm-dev]

Yes, this is for a front-end-ish project. I generate LLVM IR from assembly.
The result is optimized through several builtin passes, like simplify cfg,
value propagation, simple const propagation, etc. I tried setDebugLoc, but
it gets dropped. Aside from simplify CFG, I can't see where this happens,
and it is already dropped before simplify cfg. It looks like I would be
better off adding instruction metadata after generating IR, outside LLVM,
instead of forcing it to process things backwards.
