[llvm-dev] LLC crash while handling DEBUG info

I think "optimized" is a red herring here - it's just a minor flag
that's used to add an extra attribute to a DW_TAG_subprogram DIE, if
it's present - so far as I know.

It's not "optimized instead of definition" - if the DISubprogram is
referenced from an llvm::Function definition's "getSubprogram", then
it should have a non-null unit. If it doesn't have a unit - that's I
think the source of the problem. A DISubprogram attached to an
llvm::Function definition's getSubprogram should be a definition and
should have a non-null unit.

The crash is during the pass -  llvm::LiveDebugVariables::runOnMachineFunction(). And, it is because, the function in question is `optimized` case, and hence `unit` is `null', and we are accessing this `null`  pointer at the point of crashing.

Otherwise, it should *not* be present. In  the crash case, `spFlags = DISPFlagOptimized`. So, I guess, `unit` field should *not* be present, though I do not know the difference between ` DISPFlagDefinition` and ` DISPFlagOptimized`.  if that is expected, then we may need to check `nullity` of `DISubprogram::getUnit()` before accessing it at https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/lib/CodeGen/LexicalScopes.cpp#L53
