The BitcodeWriterPass was ported a couple years ago, and predates the
PassInfoMixin. Make BitcodeWriterPass from that base class.
Should BitcodeWriterPass be added to the PassRegistry.def file? It seems
like that is only for passes that can be added arbitrarily, e.g. via the
-passes flag to the opt tool. Whereas the bitcode writer is added
specially based on the output type (and requires an output stream and
other parameters). For now I have left it out of the PassRegistry, but
let me know if it should go there.
Finally, I was considering an NFC change of the legacy WriteBitcodePass
to BitcodeWriterLegacyPass to make its usage clearer and more consistent
with other legacy passes. WDYT?
The only point of the Mixin right now is to avoid this method, so you should probably remove it as well.
