  *for* (*unsigned* i = 0, e = SPs.getNumElements(); i != e; ++i) {
    DISubprogram SP(SPs.getElement(i));
    *if* (NamedMDNode *NMD = getFnSpecificMDNode(M, SP)) {
      SmallVector<Value *, 4> Variables;
      *for* (*unsigned* ii = 0, ee = NMD->getNumOperands(); ii != ee; ++ii)


It looks as if getFnSpecificMDNode() is always returning NULL in my case -
 the body of the if statement never gets executed.
