Callsite `DISubprogram` entries are not generated for:
- builtin functions;
- external functions with reserved names (e.g. names starting from "__").
This limitation was added by the commit [1] as a workaround for the
situation described in [2] that triggered the IR verifier error.
The goal of the present commit is to lift this limitation by adjusting
the IR verifier logic.
The logic behind [1] is to avoid the following situation:
- a `DISubprogram` is added for some builtin function;
- there is some location where this builtin is also emitted by a
transformation (w/o debug location);
- the `Verifier::visitCallBase` sees a call to a function with
`DISubprogram` but w/o debug location and emits an error.
Here is an updated example of such situation taken from [2]:
```
extern "C" int memcmp(void *, void *, long);
struct a { int b; int c; int d; };
struct e { int f[1000]; };
bool foo(e g, e &h) {
// DISubprogram for memcmp is created here when [1] is commented out
return memcmp(&g, &h, sizeof(e));
}
bool bar(a &g, a &h) {
// memcmp might be generated here by MergeICmps
return g.b == h.b && g.c == h.c && g.d == h.d;
}
```
This triggers the verifier error when:
- compiled for AArch64:
`clang++ -c -g -Oz -target aarch64-unknown-linux-android21 test.cpp`;
- [1] check is commented out.
Instead of forbidding generation of `DISubprogram` entries as in [1]
one can instead adjust the verifier to additionally check if callee
has a body. Functions w/o bodies cannot be inlined and thus verifier
warning is not necessary.
E.g. `llvm::InlineFunction` requires functions for which
`GlobalValue::isDeclaration() == false`.

This directory contains testcases that the verifier is supposed to detect as
malformed LLVM code. Testcases for situations that the verifier incorrectly
identifies as malformed should go in the test/Assembler directory.
