[llvm-objdump] Prevent variable locations to overlap short comments
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

For now, the source variable locations are printed at about the same space as the comments for disassembled code, which can make some ranges for variables disappear if a line contains comments, for example:

                                        ┠─ bar = W1
0:  add x0, x2, #2, lsl #12     // =8192┃
4:  add z31.d, z31.d, #65280    // =0xff00
8:  nop                                 ┻

The patch shifts the report a bit to allow printing comments up to approximately 16 characters without interferences.

I think it may be best to do the --debug-vars case in a separate invocation, to show that the option has no impact on the comment output.

Same goes for the X86 test case.

The default is mentioned in the command guide, so the doc needs updating as part of this patch.
