I’m not saying that it is impossible to find such a function, but keep in mind that even the size of int is baked into the IR.

I’m not sure if the effort of maintaining textual IR (which tends to change a lot) in the LLDB testsuite is worth it. Another option (not any less messy) would be to compile the test to assembler with -S insert a .loc 0 before assembling the file.

So I know some places where it will happen today, but there's no guarantee it will continue to happen in the future.  So I'll have to write a test that works with the current compiler, and fails if the compiler changes so the relevant function no longer has line number 0 code right after the prologue.  Yuck!
