        <pre>In <a href="https://reviews.llvm.org/D67556">https://reviews.llvm.org/D67556</a>, David Stenberg gives an example of how the
location of a parameter in a caller can escape and be clobbered by the callee.
In this case, the debugger may print a misleading description for the parameter
when stopped in the callee.

The setup is roughly:

```
void caller() {
  int local = 0;
  escape(&local);
  callee(local);
}

void callee(int p) {
  cause_arg1_to_be_optimized_out();
  *escaped_ptr_to_local = 1;
  // print 'p' in the debugger: will show '1' instead of '0'.
}
```</pre>
