argument of the llvm.dbg.declare/llvm.dbg.value intrinsics.
Previously, DIVariable was a variable-length field that has an optional
reference to a Metadata array consisting of a variable number of
complex address expressions. In the case of OpPiece expressions this is
wasting a lot of storage in IR, because when an aggregate type is, e.g.,
SROA'd into all of its n individual members, the IR will contain n copies
of the DIVariable, all alike, only differing in the complex address
reference at the end.
By making the complex address into an extra argument of the
dbg.value/dbg.declare intrinsics, all of the pieces can reference the
same variable and the complex address expressions can be uniqued across
the CU, too.
Down the road, this will allow us to move other flags, such as
"indirection" out of the DIVariable, too.
The new intrinsics look like this:
declare void @llvm.dbg.declare(metadata %storage, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
declare void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata %storage, i64 %offset, metadata %var, metadata %expr)
This patch adds a new LLVM-local tag to DIExpressions, so we can detect
and pretty-print DIExpression metadata nodes.
What this patch doesn't do:
This patch does not touch the "Indirect" field in DIVariable; but moving
that into the expression would be a natural next step.

Add header guards to files that were missing guards. Remove #endif comments
as they don't seem common in LLVM (we can easily add them back if we decide
they're useful)
Changes made by clang-tidy with minor tweaks.

refactoring in 215384. This way it can unique multiple entries describing
the same piece even if they don't have the exact same location.
(The same piece may get merged in and be added from OpenRanges).
There ought to be a more elegant solution for this, though.

into buildLocationList(). By keeping the list of Values sorted,
DebugLocEntry::Merge can also merge multi-piece entries.

buildLocationLists easier to read.
The previous implementation conflated the merging of individual pieces
and the merging of entire DebugLocEntries.
By splitting this functionality into two separate functions the intention
of the code should be clearer.

This simplifies construction and usage while making the data structure
smaller. It was a holdover from the days when we didn't have a separate
DebugLocList and all we had was a flat list of DebugLocEntries.

variables (for example, by-value struct arguments passed in registers, or
large integer values split across several smaller registers).
On the IR level, this adds a new type of complex address operation OpPiece
to DIVariable that describes size and offset of a variable fragment.
On the DWARF emitter level, all pieces describing the same variable are
collected, sorted and emitted as DWARF expressions using the DW_OP_piece
and DW_OP_bit_piece operators.

What this patch doesn't do / Future work:
- This patch only adds the backend machinery to make this work, patches
that change SROA and SelectionDAG's type legalizer to actually create
such debug info will follow. (http://reviews.llvm.org/D2680)
- Making the DIVariable complex expressions into an argument of dbg.value
will reduce the memory footprint of the debug metadata.
- The sorting/uniquing of pieces should be moved into DebugLocEntry,
to facilitate the merging of multi-piece entries.

Seems we didn't have any test coverage for merging... awesome. So I
added some - but hit an llvm-objdump bug while I was there. I'm choosing
not to shave that yak right now.

No test case (this would invoke UB by examining uninitialized members,
etc, at best - and this code is apparently untested anyway - I'm about
to fix that)

It seems big enough that it deserves its own file - but it is header
only, so there's no need for another cpp file, etc.
