Are you looking for a way to save all optimization remarks/records when using ‘opt’? I think passing `-pass-remarks-output=foo.yaml` should do the trick and create a YAML file with the optimization remarks.

There also are additional flags to selectively print remarks:

*  -pass-remarks=‘pass-name’ …. Print optimization remarks for pass-name
*  -pass-remarks-missed=‘pass-name’ …. Print missed optimization remarks for pass-name
*  -pass-remarks-analysis=‘pass-name’ …. Print analysis optimization remarks for pass-name

pass-name can also be a regular expression for the above.

Cheers,
Florian
