#
#  findoptdiff
#
#      This script helps find the optimization difference between two llvm
#      builds. It is useful when you have a build that is known to work and
#      one that exhibits an optimization problem. Identifying the difference
#      between the two builds can lead to discovery of the source of a
#      mis-optimization.
#
#      The script takes two llvm build paths as arguments. These specify the
#      the two llvm builds to compare. It is generally expected that they
#      are "close cousins".  That is, they are the same except that the 
#      second build contains some experimental optimization features that
#      are suspected of producing a misoptimization.
#
#      The script takes two bytecode files, one from each build. They are
#      presumed to be a compilation of the same program or program fragment
#      with the only difference being the builds.
#
#      The script operates by iteratively applying the optimizations that gccas
#      and gccld run until there is a difference in the assembly resulting
#      from the optimization. The difference is then reported with the set of
#      optimization passes that produce the difference. 
#
#      To work around differences in the assembly language format, the script
#      can also take two filter arguments that post-process the assembly 
#      so they can be differenced without making false positives for known
#      differences in the two builds. These filters are optional.
#
#   Usage:
#      findoptdiff llvm1 llvm2 bc1 bc2 filter1 filter2
#
#   Where:
#      llvm1
#          is the path to the first llvm build dir
#      llvm2
#          is the path to the second llvm build dir
#      bc1
#          is the bytecode file for the first llvm environment
#      bc2
#          is the bytecode file for the second llvm environment
#      filter1
#          is an optional filter for filtering the llvm1 generated assembly
#      filter2
#          is an optional filter for filtering the llvm2 generated assembly
#
