I've added some more details about the issues this is going to fix, hope it'll help to review the patchset.

The first two patches were extracted to just make this one a bit smaller and easier to review. ================ Comment at: llvm/lib/CodeGen/AsmPrinter/DwarfDebug.cpp:1382 + assert((!GV->getScope() || !isa<DILocalScope>(GV->getScope())) && + "Unexpected function-local declaration!"); if (Processed.insert(GV).second) ---------------- asavonic wrote: > So here we discard LLVM IR metadata that have local declarations tied to a > CU, right?

I haven't thought about backward compatibility, not even sure we have some requirements for this. The easiest option seems to increase debug metadata version and drop debug info if it isn't compatible with this one as it done in AutoUpgrade. This prevents producing incorrect DWARF for ill-formed metadata. Upgrading "old style" metadata would be a bit tricky. Current implementation assumes that all the local declarations (excluding regular local vars and labels) are referenced by parent's localDecls field, including types. Before this patchset there were no ways to find types except by references from their uses. So, to find all the function-local types we may need to iterate over all instructions and parse all debug metadata, which likely increases compile time. Not sure this trade-off is a worth one.
