        <pre>LLVM should be able to emit CodeView debug info, the format used by Microsoft's
debuggers, profilers, etc. This is a meta bug to track functionality in this
area. Please file CodeView issues and mark them as blocking this bug to track
them.

The current status is that using 'clang -g -gcodeview' (TODO: make -gcodeview
imply -g) or 'clang-cl /Zi' or 'clang-cl /Z7' will emit CodeView into COFF
objects. We describe local variables, globals, and functions, but there are
major gaps. /Zi-style emission of type info into PDBs is not on the immediate
roadmap.

---

We had a bug from 2012 to implement this, but I'm reopening with a clean slate
since the original reporter doesn't want to receive meta-bug update spam.</pre>
