[PATCH] D18565: Implement an "I'm dtrace, please retain all debug types" option.

[David Blaikie via cfe-commits]

Okey dokey - I know one of the things we did (& I don't know when it
happened compared to this change) is emit a hard list of variables onto any
subprogram for an optimized (non -O0) function. So we never lose variables
due to optimizations, or at least that's the intent.

As for D18477, I'm not sure why collectDeadVariables became dead with your
change - I imagine we still want to stuff dead variables into the
subprograms we did create (the ones that weren't /entirely/ optimized away
(ones with remaining inlined instances, etc)) - but maybe we do that
elsewhere?
