Following yours and Eric’s suggestions I got rid of most 
OptmiziationLevel-dependent code.

That works well for the block context parameter.

Tabs vs spaces. I finally fixed my .emacs.

You’re correct, the -O0 is redundant.

I split the benchmark in two: One part tests ObjC -> llvm IR generation and 
another one tests llvm IR -> Dwarf.
