For example, look at the following snippet of IR:</div>

</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In the debugger, I can examine the value of 'self', however when I attempt to print the value of 'm', gdb reports 'No symbol "m" in current context.'</div>
</blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>Are using -O0? You do not have line number info with dbg.declare intrinsic. FWIW, following works ...</div><div><br></div><div><div>define void @foo() nounwind ssp {</div><div>
