Summary

These are internal developer options and so just use report_fatal_error
if an invalid pass pipeline is specified.

This is heavily derived from the code in LLD, but there are a couple
tiny differences that make it hard to share.
We can rip this out once we integrate the new PM into the main
compilation path of course.

I have been using this to build test-suite with the new PM using D21921.
I can successfully build and run test-suite with e.g. the following pipeline:

CMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING=-Xclang "-middle-end-passes=module(function(sroa,instcombine,simplify-cfg),globaldce,globalopt,deadargelim,function(sroa,instcombine,simplify-cfg),require<profile-summary>,require<targetlibinfo>,cgscc(prune-eh,inline,function-attrs,argpromotion,function(instcombine,simplify-cfg,instcombine,jump-threading,simplify-cfg)))" -Xclang -middle-end-aa-pipeline=basic-aa,scoped-noalias-aa,type-based-aa,globals-aa

I encourage others to try out the new PM and report any bugs!
I've already been bitten by https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28400 in a couple ways!

Why not removing 'new' ? Eventually newpm will become pm anyway.

Outline this into its own helper method ?

Fix a thinko that broke *all* the clang IRGen tests. Oops.

Submit a reply that I had left in an "unsubmitted" state for some reason.

I was originally thinking that these would be deleted once we have the new PM hooked up, but after thinking about it this is generally useful functionality for developers.

Uh, so this was sent to llvm-commits, but it really should go to cfe-commits. ;] Not sure if you want to start a fresh thread or what.

Actually add cfe-commits. Oops.

Thanks to Chandler for pointing out I had added llvm-commits instead.

I'd like someone more active on the Clang side to comment about this, but here is my 2 cents...

It seems like it'd be nice to not populate or run or otherwise build up the legacy pass managers when using this option. I guess I would expect something to more split early between the two pipelines, and then merge back before doing codegen.

I'm also somewhat hesitant with the '-middle-end-...' naming, but not sure what would work better. We don't have anything even comparable with the legacy PM, so maybe just "-llvm-custom-passes" or something similar?
