+## Original code, compiled clang -O2 -g -c
+##
+## void ext();
+## int main(int argc, char **argv) {
+## if (argc == 1)
+## ext();
+## else
+## ext();
+## return 0;
+## }
+##
+## In the code sequence above, the call to ext is given line zero during
+## optimisation, because the code is duplicated down all function paths thus
+## gets merged. We get something like this as the output:
+##
+## 0: 50 push %rax
+## 1: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
+## 3: e8 00 00 00 00 call 8 <main+0x8>
+## 4: R_X86_64_PLT32 ext-0x4
+## 8: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
+## a: 59 pop %rcx
+## b: c3 ret
+##
+## Where prologue_end is placed on address 8, the clearing of the return
+## register, because it's the first "real" instruction that isn't line zero.
+## This then causes debuggers to skip over the call instruction when entering
+## the function, which is catastrophic.
+##
+## Instead: we shouldn't put a prologue_end on this function at all. It's too
+## deformed from the original code to truly have a position (with a line number)
+## that is both true, and after frame setup. This gives comsumers the
+## opportunity to recognise "this is a crazy function" and act accordingly.
+##
+## Check lines ensure that there's something meaningful in the line table
+## involving line 2, the implicit-check-not is making sure there isn't a
+## prologue_end flag on any line entry.
