[PATCH] D157070: [C++20] [Coroutines] Introduce `@llvm.coro.opt.blocker` to block the may-be-incorrect optimization for awaiter

[John McCall via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

rjmccall added a comment.

Let me try to rephrase to see if I understand the problem here.  In the coroutine function, the frontend allocates the awaiter object as a temporary like any other, i.e. with just an `alloca`.  The optimizer doesn't see any escapes of that `alloca`, so it thinks it can freely optimize accesses to it.  But in fact the awaiter object does escape and can be accessed separately somehow, so the proposed fix is just to emit a call which looks like an escape of the pointer.

I don't really understand how the awaiter object escapes here — how is it possible to access it given just a `std::coroutine_handle`?  But given that it apparently does escape, the proposed fix seems like the best way to record that.
