Here's a problem for the RemoveDIs project to make debug-info not be
stored in instructions -- in the following sequence:
dbg.value(foo
%bar = add i32 ...
dbg.value(baz
It's possible for rare passes (only CodeGenPrepare) to remove the add
instruction, and then re-insert it back in the same place. When
debug-info is stored in instructions and there's a total order on "when"
things happen this is easy, but by moving that information out of the
instruction stream we start having to do manual maintenance.
This patch adds some utilities for re-inserting an instruction into a
sequence of DPValue objects. Someday we hope to design this away, but
for now it's necessary to support all the things you can do with
dbg.values. The two unit tests show how DPValues get shuffled around
using the relevant function calls. A follow-up patch adds
instrumentation to CodeGenPrepare.
This is the "central" patch to the removing-debug-intrinsics project: it
changes the instruction movement APIs (insert, move, splice) to interpret
the "Head" bits we're attaching to BasicBlock::iterators, and updates
debug-info records in the background to preserve the ordering of debug-info
(which is in DPValue objects instead of dbg.values). The cost is the
complexity of this patch, plus memory. The benefit is that LLVM developers
can cease thinking about whether they're moving debug-info or not, because
it'll happen behind the scenes.
All that complexity appears in BasicBlock::spliceDebugInfo, see the diagram
there for how we now manually shuffle debug-info around. Each potential
splice configuration gets tested in the added unit tests.
The rest of this patch applies the same reasoning in a variety of
scenarios. When moveBefore (and it's siblings) are used to move
instructions around, the caller has to indicate whether they intend for
debug-info to move too (is it a "Preserving" call or not), and then the
"Head" bits used to determine where debug-info moves to. Similar reasoning
is needed for insertBefore.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D154353
BasicBlock.h and Instruction.h will eventually need to include
DebugProgramInstruction.h so that debug-info attached to instructions can
be enumerated and cloned. Originally including it made compiling clang
much slower, I think I've pinned that down as being the inclusion of
DebugInfoMetadata.h causing ~every LLVM translation unit to parse
all the debug-info classes.
This patch avoids that by shifting some functions into the cpp file rather
than the header, and restores the inclusion of DebugProgramInstruction.h in
BasicBlock.h so that the rest of the RemoveDIs functionality can land.
This reverts commit 957efa4ce4f0391147cec62746e997226ee2b836.
Original commit message below -- in this follow up, I've shifted
un-necessary inclusions of DebugProgramInstruction.h into being forward
declarations (fixes clang-compile time I hope), and a memory leak in the
DebugInfoTest.cpp IR unittests.
I also tracked a compile-time regression in D154080, more explanation
there, but the result of which is hiding some of the changes behind the
EXPERIMENTAL_DEBUGINFO_ITERATORS compile-time flag. This is tested by the
"new-debug-iterators" buildbot.
[DebugInfo][RemoveDIs] Add prototype storage classes for "new" debug-info
This patch adds a variety of classes needed to record variable location
debug-info without using the existing intrinsic approach, see the rationale
at [0].
The two added files and corresponding unit tests are the majority of the
plumbing required for this, but at this point isn't accessible from the
rest of LLVM as we need to stage it into the repo gently. An overview is
that classes are added for recording variable information attached to Real
(TM) instructions, in the form of DPValues and DPMarker objects. The
metadata-uses of DPValues is plumbed into the metadata hierachy, and a
field added to class Instruction, which are all stimulated in the unit
tests. The next few patches in this series add utilities to convert to/from
this new debug-info format and add instruction/block utilities to have
debug-info automatically updated in the background when various operations
occur.
This patch was reviewed in Phab in D153990 and D154080, I've squashed them
together into this commit as there are dependencies between the two
patches, and there's little profit in landing them separately.

And some intervening fixups. There are two remaining problems:
* A memory leak via https://lab.llvm.org/buildbot/#/builders/236/builds/7120/steps/10/logs/stdio
* A performance slowdown with -g where I'm not completely sure what the cause it
These might be fairly straightforwards to fix, but it's the end of the day
hear, so I figure I'll clear the buildbots til tomorrow.
