speculate. Without this, loop rotate (among many other places) would
suddenly stop working in the presence of debug info. I found this
looking at loop rotate, and have augmented its tests with a reduction
out of a very hot loop in yacr2 where failing to do this rotation costs
sometimes more than 10% in runtime performance, perturbing numerous
downstream optimizations.
This should have no impact on performance without debug info, but the
change in performance when debug info is enabled can be extreme. As
a consequence (and this how I got to this yak) any profiling of
performance problems should be treated with deep suspicion -- they may
have been wildly innacurate of debug info was enabled for profiling. =/
Just a heads up.
