This is something that I have found to be very useful in my work and I
wanted to contribute it back to the community since several people in
the past have asked me for something along these lines. (Jakob, I know
this has been a while coming ; )]
The way you use this is you create a script that takes in as its first
argument a count. The script passes into LLVM the count via a command
line flag that disables a pass after LLVM has run after the pass has
run for count number of times. Then the script invokes a test of some
sort and indicates whether LLVM successfully compiled the test via the
scripts exit status. Then you invoke bisect as follows:
bisect --start=<start_num> --end=<end_num> ./script.sh "%(count)s"
And bisect will continually call ./script.sh with various counts using
the exit status to determine success and failure.
