Depends on what problem you are trying to solve. Emitting appropiate
#line data and naming the CC variables as in your original language
would help improve the experience. If that is not good enough, I'm not
sure if there is any alternative to emitting IR directly with the
associated tighter control about debug data getting created.
Alternatively, you could try to hook into lldb.
