Most clang tools should ignore the -M
family of options because one wouldn't want them
to generate a new dependency (.d) file. However,
some tools may want this dependency file. This
patch creates a mechanism for them to do this.
This implementation just plumbs a boolean down
several layers of calls. Each of the modified calls
has several call sites, and so a single member
variable or new API entry point won't work.
An alternative would be to write a function to filter
the -M family of arguments out of CC1Args, and have
each caller call that function by hand before calling
newInvocation, Invocation::run, or buildAstFromCodeWithArgs.
This is a more complicated and error-prone solution.
Why burden all the callers to remember to use
this function?
But I could rewrite this patch to use that method if
that is deemed more appropriate.
