Well.. I could write a test by compiling a real source, but it wouldn't 
be *this* test. The idea here was to validate the parsing of the debug 
info into lldb internal data structures (including all the 
is_start_of_statement, is_end_of_prologue bits, etc.), and for that I 
need to be able to specify the input with great precision.

Without that, the only thing I could assert is that there is "some" line 
entry for a given line number, which isn't going to be much useful 
because that is already be extensively tested when setting line 
breakpoints.

So, the main use I see for this is testing the workings of a specific 
parser. Then, if that parser works correctly, anything which consumes 
the data from it (e.g., the breakpoint machinery) should work fine too.
