[cfe-dev] [CGCall] Mapping elements of CallArgList to parameter declarations

[Reid Kleckner]

I just thought of something. Try threading the function or block decl
through EmitCallArgs.  EmitCallArgs is responsible for evaluating all
user-written Exprs, which should have a one-to-one correspondence with
ParmVarDecls on the function or block decl.
