It is likely that your front end did not emit include Function * while emitting debugging information entry for a subprogram. Initially, Function * was not part of DISubprogram.

If you wonder how do you determine field number 16 is used for Function * then see, http://llvm.org/docs/SourceLevelDebugging.html#format_subprograms
