            Bug ID: 21246
           Summary: DWARF template value parameter of 'reference' type
                    incorrectly has 'pointer' type
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: DebugInfo
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: warren_ristow at playstation.sony.com
                CC: llvmbugs at cs.uiuc.edu
    Classification: Unclassified

Compiling the following test-case at '-O0 -g':

    extern "C" int printf(const char *, ...);

    template <int &v>
    int reference()
    {
        return v;
    }

    int a = 42;

    int main()
    {
        int x;
        x = reference<a>();
        printf("x = %d\n", x);
        return 0;
    }

produces an incorrect description of 'v'.  It is described as a pointer to an
int, rather than a reference to an int.  An edited/trimmed version of the
output of llvm-dwarfdump is:

The problem was found on an x86_64 target, 'clang --version':

  clang version 3.6.0 (trunk 219524)
  Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  Thread model: posix

but also tested with '-target ppu', and it had the same behavior.
