The Debugify pass synthesizes debug info for IR. It's paired with a
CheckDebugify pass which determines how much of the original debug info
is preserved. These passes make it easier to create targeted tests for
debug info preservation.
Here is the Debugify algorithm:
NextLine = 1
for (Instruction &I : M)
attach DebugLoc(NextLine++) to I
NextVar = 1
for (Instruction &I : M)
if (canAttachDebugValue(I))
attach dbg.value(NextVar++) to I
The CheckDebugify pass expects contiguous ranges of DILocations and
DILocalVariables. If it fails to find all of the expected debug info, it
prints a specific error to stderr which can be FileChecked.
This was discussed on llvm-dev in the thread:
"Passes to add/validate synthetic debug info"

These are in-progress notes for the upcoming LLVM 6 release.

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
|
|
release 5.0.0. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including major improvements
|
|
from the previous release, improvements in various subprojects of LLVM, and
|
|
some of the current users of the code. All LLVM releases may be downloaded
|
|
from the `LLVM releases web site <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
|
|
|
|
For more information about LLVM, including information about the latest
|
|
release, please check out the `main LLVM web site <http://llvm.org/>`_. If you
|
|
have questions or comments, the `LLVM Developer's Mailing List
|
|
<http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev>`_ is a good place to send
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you are reading this file from a Subversion checkout or the main
|
|
LLVM web page, this document applies to the *next* release, not the current
|
|
one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please see the `releases
|
|
page <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
|
|
=================================================
|
|
.. NOTE
|
|
For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
|
|
this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
|
|
point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
|
|
functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
|
|
for adding a new subsection.
|
|
|
|
* The ``Redirects`` argument of ``llvm::sys::ExecuteAndWait`` and
|
|
``llvm::sys::ExecuteNoWait`` was changed to an ``ArrayRef`` of optional
|
|
``StringRef``'s to make it safer and more convenient to use.
|
|
|
|
* The backend name was added to the Target Registry to allow run-time
|
|
information to be fed back into TableGen. Out-of-tree targets will need to add
|
|
the name used in the `def X : Target` definition to the call to
|
|
`RegisterTarget`.
|
|
|
|
* The ``Debugify`` pass was added to ``opt`` to facilitate testing of debug
|
|
info preservation. This pass attaches synthetic ``DILocations`` and
|
|
``DIVariables`` to the instructions in a ``Module``. The ``CheckDebugify``
|
|
pass determines how much of the metadata is lost.
|
|
|
|
* Note..

|
If you would like to document a larger change, then you can add a
|
|
subsection about it right here. You can copy the following boilerplate
|
|
and un-indent it (the indentation causes it to be inside this comment).

Additional Information
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
A wide variety of additional information is available on the `LLVM web page
|
|
<http://llvm.org/>`_, in particular in the `documentation
|
|
<http://llvm.org/docs/>`_ section. The web page also contains versions of the
|
|
API documentation which is up-to-date with the Subversion version of the source
|
|
code. You can access versions of these documents specific to this release by
|
|
going into the ``llvm/docs/`` directory in the LLVM tree.
