Created an attachment (id=3823)
 --> (http://llvm.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=3823)
source file

If I compile the attached source with "llvm-gcc -g -S -emit-llvm f.c", I get
the following debug info for the local static variable "i":

!0 = metadata !{i32 458804, i32 0, metadata !1, metadata !"i", metadata !"i",
metadata !"i.1080", metadata !1, i32 3, metadata !2, i1 true, i1 true, i32*
@i.1080}; [DW_TAG_variable ]
!1 = metadata !{i32 458769, i32 0, i32 1, metadata !"f.c", metadata
!"/home/foad/", metadata !"4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5653) (LLVM
build)", i1 true, i1 false, metadata !"", i32 0}; [DW_TAG_compile_unit ]
!2 = metadata !{i32 458788, metadata !1, metadata !"int", metadata !1, i32 0,
i64 32, i64 32, i64 0, i32 0, i32 5}; [DW_TAG_base_type ]

There's nothing in here that encodes the fact that "i" is local to the function
"f" -- it looks just like a global variable.

I guess the obvious way to encode this information would be to set the global
variable descriptor's "context" to the descriptor for the subprogram "f",
instead of the compile unit.
