[llvm-dev] Why LLVM doesn't have debug information of function right parentheses？

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

I really wouldn't be sure this is the right direction to go anyway - as
pointed out, there coudl be a return of a constant which would be a single
instruction & it would make more sense to me to attribute that to the line
where "return" is written, than where the closing brace is.

I think this is, for my money, a legitimate difference in implementations
between GCC and Clang - not a case of one being right/better than the other.

(adding echristo@ so he can speak for some of this if he wants to, since
they were choices made a while back)
