[llvm-dev] [LLVMdev] Improving the quality of debug locations / DbgValueHistoryCalculator

[Francois Pichet via llvm-dev]

Hello,

Regarding the problem of debug range for optimized code.
Currently a DEBUG_VALUE will be inserted after the <def>vregX
DEBUG_VALUE are only valid until the end of the current MachineBasicBlock.
That's the main problem.
Why not simply iterate over all uses of vregX and insert an DEBUG_VALUE in
all the MachineBasicBlocks where vregX is used. (pre regalloc)

I prototyped a small pass to do that and at first it seems to improve
.debug_loc range validity and enhance the debugging experience for
optimized code.
