LLVM's use of DW_OP_bit_piece is incorrect and a based on a
misunderstanding of the wording in the DWARF specification. The offset
argument of DW_OP_bit_piece refers to the offset into the location
that is on the top of the DWARF expression stack, and not an offset
into the source variable. This has since also been clarified in the
DWARF specification.
This patch fixes all uses of DW_OP_bit_piece to emit the correct
offset and simplifies the DwarfExpression class to semi-automaticaly
emit empty DW_OP_pieces to adjust the offset of the source variable,
thus simplifying the code using DwarfExpression.
While this is an incompatible bugfix, in practice I don't expect this
to be much of a problem since LLVM's old interpretation and the
correct interpretation of DW_OP_bit_piece differ only when there are
gaps in the fragmented locations of the described variables or if
individual fragments are smaller than a byte. LLDB at least won't
interpret locations with gaps in them because is has no way to present
undefined bits in a variable, and there is a high probability that an
old-form expression will be malformed when interpreted correctly,
because the DW_OP_bit_piece offset will be outside of the location at
the top of the stack.
As a nice side-effect, this patch enables us to use a more efficient
encoding for subregisters: In order to express a sub-register at a
non-zero offset we now use a DW_OP_bit_piece instead of shifting the
value into place manually.
This patch also adds missing test coverage for code paths that weren't
exercised before.

so we can stop using DW_OP_bit_piece with the wrong semantics.
The entire back story can be found here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20161114/405934.html
The gist is that in LLVM we've been misinterpreting DW_OP_bit_piece's
offset field to mean the offset into the source variable rather than
the offset into the location at the top the DWARF expression stack. In
order to be able to fix this in a subsequent patch, this patch
introduces a dedicated DW_OP_LLVM_fragment operation with the
semantics that we used to apply to DW_OP_bit_piece, which is what we
actually need while inside of LLVM. This patch is complete with a
bitcode upgrade for expressions using the old format. It does not yet
fix the DWARF backend to use DW_OP_bit_piece correctly.
Implementation note: We discussed several options for implementing
this, including reserving a dedicated field in DIExpression for the
fragment size and offset, but using an custom operator at the end of
the expression works just fine and is more efficient because we then
only pay for it when we need it.

The DIEUnit class represents a compile or type unit and it owns the unit DIE as an instance variable. This allows anyone with a DIE, to get the unit DIE, and then get back to its DIEUnit without adding any new ivars to the DIE class. Why was this needed? The DIE class has an Offset that is always the CU relative DIE offset, not the "offset in debug info section" as was commented in the header file (the comment has been corrected). This is great for performance because most DIE references are compile unit relative and this means most code that accessed the DIE's offset didn't need to make it into a compile unit relative offset because it already was. When we needed to emit a DW_FORM_ref_addr though, we needed to find the absolute offset of the DIE by finding the DIE's compile/type unit. This class did have the absolute debug info/type offset and could be added to the CU relative offset to compute the absolute offset. With this change we can easily get back to a DIE's DIEUnit which will have this needed offset. Prior to this is required having a DwarfDebug and required calling:
DwarfCompileUnit *DwarfDebug::lookupUnit(const DIE *CU) const;
Now we can use the DIEUnit class to do so without needing DwarfDebug. All clients now use DIEUnit objects (the DwarfDebug stack and the DwarfLinker). A follow on patch for the DWARF generator will also take advantage of this.

if it is more specific than the one in its DW_AT_specification.
If a static member is an array, the translation unit containing the
member definition may have a more specific type (including its length)
than TUs only seeing the class declaration. This patch adds a
DW_AT_type to the member's DW_TAG_variable in addition to the
DW_AT_specification in these cases. The member type in the
DW_AT_specification still shows the more generic type (without the
length) to avoid defeating type uniquing.
The DWARF standard discourages “duplicating” a DW_AT_type in a member
variable definition but doesn’t explicitly forbid it. Having the more
specific type (with the array length) available is what allows the
debugger to print the contents of a static array member variable.

These attributes aren't used by other debuggers (& may be confused with
other DWARF extensions) so they just waste space (about 1.5% on .dwo
file size on a random large program I tested).
We could remove the ObjC property ones too, but I figured they were
probably more necessary when trying to understand ObjC (I could be wrong
though) & so any debugger interested in working with ObjC would use
them, perhaps? (also, there are some legacy tests in Clang that test for
them - making it one of those annoying cross-project commits and/or

When we suppress linkage names, for a non-inlined subprogram the name
can still be found in the object-file symbol table, because we have
the code address of the subprogram. This is not necessarily the case
for an inlined subprogram, so we still want to emit the linkage name
in the DWARF. Put this on the abstract-origin DIE because it's common
to all inlined instances.

This patch drops the debug info for all DISubprograms that are
(a) not attached to an llvm::Function and
(b) not indirectly reachable via inline scopes from any surviving Function and
(c) not reachable from a type (i.e.: member functions).
Background: I'm currently working on a patch to reverse the pointers
between DICompileUnit and DISubprogram (for more info check Duncan's RFC
on lazy-loading of debug info metadata
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-March/097419.html).
The idea is to remove the list of subprograms from DICompileUnit and
instead point to the owning compile unit from each DISubprogram.
After doing this all DISubprograms fulfilling the above criteria will be
implicitly dropped unless we go through an extra effort to preserve them.

Rather than storing type units in a vector and emitting them at the end
of code generation, emit them immediately and destroy them, reclaiming the
memory we were using for their DIEs.
In one benchmark carried out against Chromium's 50 largest (by bitcode
file size) translation units, total peak memory consumption with type units
decreased by median 17%, or by 7% when compared against disabling type units.
Tested using check-{llvm,clang}, the GDB 7.5 test suite (with
'-fdebug-types-section') and by eyeballing llvm-dwarfdump output on those
Chromium translation units with split DWARF both disabled and enabled, and
verifying that the only changes were to addresses and abbreviation ordering.

Replace the `std::vector<>` for `DIE::Children` with an intrusively
linked list. This is a strict memory improvement: it requires no
auxiliary storage, and reduces `sizeof(DIE)` by one pointer. It also
factors out the DIE-related malloc traffic.
This drops llc memory usage from 735 MB down to 718 MB, or ~2.3%.

Change `DIE::Values` to a singly linked list, where each node is
allocated on a `BumpPtrAllocator`. In order to support `push_back()`,
the list is circular, and points at the tail element instead of the
head. I abstracted the core list logic out to `IntrusiveBackList` so
that it can be reused for `DIE::Children`, which also cares about
`push_back()`.
This drops llc memory usage from 799 MB down to 735 MB, about 8%.

There are three types of `DbgVariable`:
- alloca variables, created based on the MMI table,
- register variables, created based on DBG_VALUE instructions, and
- optimized-out variables.
This commit reconfigures `DbgVariable` to make it easier to tell which
kind we have, and make initialization a little clearer.
For MMI/alloca variables, `FrameIndex.size()` must always equal
`Expr.size()`, and there shouldn't be an `MInsn`. For register
variables (with a `MInsn`), `FrameIndex` must be empty, and `Expr`
should have 0 or 1 element depending on whether it has a complex
expression (registers with multiple locations use `DebugLocListIndex`).
Optimized-out variables shouldn't have any of these fields.
Moreover, this separates DBG_VALUE initialization until after the
variable is created, simplifying logic in a future commit that changes
`collectVariableInfo()` to stop creating empty .debug_loc entries/lists.

Stop storing a `DIEAbbrev` in `DIE`, since the data fits neatly inside
the `DIEValue` list. Besides being a cleaner data structure (avoiding
the parallel arrays), this gives us more freedom to rearrange the
`DIEValue` list.
This fixes the temporary memory regression from 845 MB up to 879 MB, and
drops it further to 829 MB for a net memory decrease of around 1.9%
(incremental decrease around 5.7%).

This reverts commit r238350, effectively reapplying r238349 after fixing
(all?) the problems, all somehow related to how I was using
`AlignedArrayCharUnion<>` inside `DIEValue`:
- MSVC can only handle `sizeof()` on types, not values. Change the
assert.
- GCC doesn't know the `is_trivially_copyable` type trait. Instead of
asserting it, add destructors.
- Call placement new even when constructing POD (i.e., the pointers).
- Instead of copying the char buffer, copy the casted classes.
I've left in a couple of `static_assert`s that I think both MSVC and GCC
know how to handle. If the bots disagree with me, I'll remove them.
- Check that the constructed type is either standard layout or a
pointer. This protects against a programming error: we really want
the "small" `DIEValue`s to be small and simple, so don't
accidentally change them not to be.
- Similarly, check that the size of the buffer is no bigger than a
`uint64_t` or a pointer. (I thought checking against
`sizeof(uint64_t)` would be good enough, but Chandler suggested that
pointers might sometimes be bigger than that in the context of
sanitizers.)
I've also committed r238359 in the meantime, which introduces a
DIEValue.def to simplify dispatching between the various types (thanks
to a review comment by David Blaikie). Without that, this commit would
be almost unintelligible.
Here's the original commit message:
--
Change `DIEValue` to be stored/passed/etc. by value, instead of
reference. It's now a discriminated union, with a `Val` field storing
the actual type. The classes that used to inherit from `DIEValue` no
longer do. There are two categories of these:
- Small values fit in a single pointer and are stored by value.
- Large values require auxiliary storage, and are stored by reference.
The only non-mechanical change is to tools/dsymutil/DwarfLinker.cpp. It
was relying on `DIEInteger`s being passed around by reference, so I
replaced that assumption with a `PatchLocation` type that stores a safe
reference to where the `DIEInteger` lives instead.
This commit causes a temporary regression in memory usage, since I've
left merging `DIEAbbrevData` into `DIEValue` for a follow-up commit. I
measured an increase from 845 MB to 879 MB, around 3.9%. The follow-up
drops it lower than the starting point, and I've only recently brought
the memory this low anyway, so I'm committing these changes separately
to keep them incremental. (I also considered swapping the commits, but
the other one first would cause a lot more code churn.)
