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.

This was coming in weird debug info that had variables (and hence
debug_locs) but was in GMLT mode (because it was missing the 13th field
of the compile_unit metadata) so no ranges were constructed. We should
always have at least one range for any CU with a debug_loc in it -
because the range should cover the debug_loc.
The assertion just ensures that the "!= 1" range case inside the
subsequent loop doesn't get entered for the case where there are no
ranges at all, which should never reach here in the first place.

Many old tests using prior schemas still had some brokenness here (both
indirect arrays and arrays with single bogus elements). Fixed those up
so they don't hit the new assertions.
Also reduced nesting in some places, etc.

A bunch of test cases needed to be cleaned up for this, many my fault -
when implementid imported modules I updated test cases by simply
duplicating the prior metadata field - which wasn't always the empty
metadata entry.

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.

Field 2 of DIType (Context), field 9 of DIDerivedType (TypeDerivedFrom),
field 12 of DICompositeType (ContainingType), fields 2, 7, 12 of DISubprogram
(Context, Type, ContainingType).

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.
llvm-svn: 189282
Also always add DIType, DISubprogram and DIGlobalVariable to the list
in DebugInfoFinder without checking them, so we can verify them later
on.
