> I think it's still possible to construct cases where -g vs. -gline-tables-only produces different locations. What if you add `int bar = 0` on the line after `bool cond = foo == 4`? I see this:

You are correct. By adding that line, the insertion points have different debug locations:

```
  call void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata i32 0, metadata !18, metadata !DIExpression()), !dbg !28
!28 = !DILocation(line: 6, scope: !8)
```
vs

```
  %frombool = zext i1 %cmp to i8, !dbg !15
!15 = !DILocation(line: 5, scope: !8)
```
