[llvm-dev] [PATCH] D30785: [DWARF] Versioning for DWARF constants; verify FORMs

[Robinson, Paul via llvm-dev]

Honestly, once you know which attribute/form combination has a problem, it's really not too hard to track down where it gets emitted.  Grep is your friend.  Once I realized this version would require a virtual method I was not happy, but carried through to see where it would lead.
Going back to the original location (during abbrev emission) is cheap and easy, and with the debugging output it will be sufficient.

Adding a vtable to DIE's probably not OK - memory usage there is, I think, a bit of a concern.

Adrian - thoughts on where this check might be best placed? It'd seem best to make sure it fails at the time the attribute is added to the DIE, rather than during a later walk - but sure, no big deal, probably doesn't come up all that often/not /too/ painful to debug (look at the attribute type, the DIE memory address, set a conditional breakpoint on DIEValueList::addValue & run again).

There's a relatively small handful of functions that benefit from this generality, and it might be easy enough to split them (might not be, too) - given that the generality is over blocks and locations that don't have attribute kinds - they're not very much the same thing.... dunno though.

Move the version check to DIE::addValue().  This required making the base-class method virtual, because the base class doesn't have a way to find the DWARF version; only a DIE can do that.
Other review comments addressed as well.
