<pre>With LLVM/clang 361045, it seems LiveDebugVariables can drop DBG_VALUE
instructions in the presence of complex expressions, as demonstrated in the
code below, when fed into "llc -stop-after=virtregrewriter -o -". The code is
adapted from the dbg-addr-dse.ll test, and after virtregrewriter the third
DBG_VALUE instruction is not re-inserted, which makes an assignment disappear.
The cause seems to be this check [0] in LiveDebugVariables: it intends to
ensure that fragments are recorded as different "UserValue"s. However the fact
it's only comparing Expression pointers means that any complex expression at
all will be considered a different fragment of the variable. Thus the
DW_OP_deref's in the code below effectively make the dbg.value's refer to
different fragments, according to LiveDebugVariables.
In the example code, after calling collectDebugValues,
LiveDebugVariables::print represents the program state thus:
!"x,3" [32r;32d):0 [128r;128d):0 Loc0=%stack.0
!"x,3" [112r;112d):0 Loc0=1
Here the first and last DBG_VALUE insts are recorded in the first line as being
in location 0 (%stack.0) at slot indexes 32 and 128. The second line represents
the middle DBG_VALUE, as a different fragment, having location const-1 at slot
index 112. (The DIExpressions aren't printed).
After calling computeIntervals the LiveDebugVariables state becomes:
!"x,3" [48B;240B):0 Loc0=%stack.0
!"x,3" [112r;240B):0 Loc0=1
The first line coalesces its locations to the end of the block (240B) because
that "fragment" always appears to be in %stack.0. Then when virtregrewriter
re-inserts DBG_VALUEs, it doesn't see any reason to replace what was the third
DBG_VALUE in the original code: as far as it sees it, there are two different
fragments that get their locations defined once each, and that's it. Thus, the
third DBG_VALUE goes missing.
I anticipate LiveDebugVariables could be convinced to insert fresh DBG_VALUEs
where it shouldn't in a similar way. UserValue::extendDef can be convinced to
extend the lifetime of a fragment to a copy of a register location, if the
original register is killed. That would then lead to it inserting a fresh
DBG_VALUE, possibly terminating an earlier DBG_VALUE for the same (but
unrecognised) fragment.
(I was going to just submit a patch for this, but I think some non-trivial
datastructure changes are required, and it's not something I'm immediately
working on).
