+#!/bin/bash
+#
+# 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
