"create-clang-typeinfo option" unclear in documentation #3

Closed mcgov closed 6 years ago

What is this option? It does not seem to be a valid clang option, if it is, what is the syntax? Please clarify this in the documentation.

I’m sorry for the limited explanation. I updated README again (Note that during various application tests, we found in a few cases that some type information was omitted during the transition from source code to LLVM IR (which can cause false positive issue). In order to solve this issue, HexType also relies on clang level type information using “-mllvm -create-clang-typeinfo” option.). Please check it.
