I'd suggest an approach like this:

Given an instruction in the a basic block, scan up and/or down the basic 
block, stopping at the first llvm.dbg.stoppoint instruction.  Something 
like this should work:

#include "llvm/IntrinsicInst.h"
...

for (...)
   if (DbgStopPointInst *SP = dyn_cast<DbgStopPointInst>(Inst))
     std::cerr << "Loc: " << SP->getFileName() << ":" << SP->getLine() << "\n";

If you look at IntrinsicInst, you'll see methods to get the 
filename,directory,line#,col#, all packaged up into an easy to use class 
(some of Jim's excellent work :).
