That explains why I couldn't find anything.

I was hoping there might be an LLVM compiler switch to say "allocate these variables in a linear straightforward fashion"...

If theres no such switch then... what is considered the "right approach with LLVM" to creating your own debugger?

Or anything that helps with my original question.
