This patch copies @vSK's fix to instcombine from D85555 over to mem2reg. The
motivation and rationale are exactly the same: When mem2reg removes an alloca,
it erases the dbg.{addr,declare} instructions which refer to the alloca. It
would be better to instead remove all debug intrinsics which describe the
contents of the dead alloca, namely all dbg.value(, ...,
DW_OP_deref)'s.
As far as I can tell, prior to D80264 these
dbg.value+deref
s would have beensilently dropped instead of being made
undef
, so we're just returning toprevious behaviour with these patches.
Testing:
llvm-lit llvm/test
andninja check-clang
gave no unexpected failures. Added3 tests, each of which covers a dbg.value deletion path in mem2reg:
mem2reg-promote-alloca-1.ll
mem2reg-promote-alloca-2.ll
mem2reg-promote-alloca-3.ll
The first is based on the dexter test inlining.c from D89543. This patch also
improves the debugging experience for loop.c from D89543, which suffers
similarly after arg promotion instead of inlining.
