Testing Julia pipeline in isolation via opt leads to invalid IR

[topolarity]

I followed the instructions at https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1.12-dev/devdocs/llvm/#Debugging-LLVM-transformations-in-isolation to do some Julia pass debugging.

optimize = false
fun, T = iterate, Tuple{Base.ANSIIterator, Tuple{Int64, Tuple{Base.RegexMatch{String}, Tuple{Int64, Bool}}}}
open("iterate.ll", "w") do file
    println(file, InteractiveUtils._dump_function(fun, T, false, false, false, true, :att, optimize, :default, false))
end

It looks like this is not a correct workflow, since it leads to invalid IR when trying to run opt:

$ ./usr/tools/opt -load-pass-plugin=usr/lib/libjulia-codegen.so --passes='julia' -o iterate_opt.bc iterate.ll

PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/julialang/julia and include the crash backtrace.

You need raw=true which I think thoose docs don't have.

Aha! Yes, that seems to do the trick.
