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.

We are going to drop debug info without a version number or with a different
version number, to make sure we don't crash when we see bitcode files with
different debug info metadata format.

DICompositeType will have an identifier field at position 14. For now, the
field is set to null in DIBuilder.
For DICompositeTypes where the template argument field (the 13th field)
was optional, modify DIBuilder to make sure the template argument field is set.
Now DICompositeType has 15 fields.
Update DIBuilder to use NULL instead of "i32 0" for null value of a MDNode.
Update verifier to check that DICompositeType has 15 fields and the last
field is null or a MDString.
Update testing cases to include an extra field for DICompositeType.
The identifier field will be used by type uniquing so a front end can
genearte a DICompositeType with a unique identifer.

MDNodes used by DbgDeclareInst and DbgValueInst.
Another 16 testing cases failed and they are disabled with
-disable-debug-info-verifier.
A total of 34 cases are disabled with -disable-debug-info-verifier and will be
corrected.

The count attribute is more accurate with regards to the size of an array. It
also obviates the upper bound attribute in the subrange. We can also better
handle an unbound array by setting the count to -1 instead of the lower bound to
1 and upper bound to 0.
llvm-svn: 169312
The count field is necessary because there isn't a difference between the 'lo'
and 'hi' attributes for a one-element array and a zero-element array. When the
count is '0', we know that this is a zero-element array. When it's >=1, then
it's a normal constant sized array. When it's -1, then the array is unbounded.
