I believe https://reviews.llvm.org/rL302576 introduced two bugs:
- it produces duplicate distinct variables for every: dbg.value describing the same variable. To fix the problme I switched form getDistinct() to get() in DebugLoc.cpp: auto reparentVar = [&](DILocalVariable *Var) { return DILocalVariable::getDistinct(
- It passes NewFunction plain name as a linkagename parameter to Subprogram constructor. Breaks assert in:
|| DeclLinkageName.empty()) || LinkageName == DeclLinkageName) && "decl has a linkage name and it is different"' failed.

Here how https://reviews.llvm.org/rL302576 broke coroutine debug info.
Coroutine body of the original function is split into several parts by cloning and removing unneeded code.
All parts describe the original function and variables present in the original function.
For a simple case, prior to Split, original function has these two blocks:
PostSpill: ; preds = %AllocaSpillBB call void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata i32 %x, i64 0, metadata !14, metadata !15), !dbg !13 store i32 %x, i32* %x.addr, align 4 ... and sw.epilog: ; preds = %sw.bb %x.addr.reload.addr = getelementptr inbounds %f.Frame, %f.Frame* %FramePtr, i32 0, i32 4, !dbg !20 %4 = load i32, i32* %x.addr.reload.addr, align 4, !dbg !20 call void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata i32 %4, i64 0, metadata !14, metadata !15), !dbg !13 !14 = !DILocalVariable(name: "x", arg: 1, scope: !6, file: !7, line: 55, type: !11)
Note that in two blocks different expression represent the same original user variable X.
Before rL302576, for every cloned function there was exactly one cloned DILocalVariable(name: "x" as in:
define i8* @f(i32 %x) #0 !dbg !6 { ... !6 = distinct !DISubprogram(name: "f", scope: !7, file: !7, line: 55, type: !8, isLocal: false, isDefinition: true, scopeLine: 55, flags: DIFlagPrototyped, ... !14 = !DILocalVariable(name: "x", arg: 1, scope: !6, file: !7, line: 55, type: !11) define internal fastcc void @f.resume(%f.Frame* %FramePtr) #0 !dbg !25 { ... !25 = distinct !DISubprogram(name: "f", scope: !7, file: !7, line: 55, type: !8, isLocal: false, isDefinition: true, scopeLine: 55, flags: DIFlagPrototyped, isOptimized: false, unit: !0, variables: !2) !28 = !DILocalVariable(name: "x", arg: 1, scope: !25, file: !7, line: 55, type: !11)
After rL302576, for every cloned function there were as many DILocalVariable(name: "x" as there were "call void @llvm.dbg.value" for that variable.
This was causing asserts in VerifyDebugInfo and AssemblyPrinter.
Example:
!27 = distinct !DISubprogram(name: "f", linkageName: "f.resume", scope: !7, file: !7, line: 55, type: !8, isLocal: false, isDefinition: true, scopeLine: 55, !29 = distinct !DILocalVariable(name: "x", arg: 1, scope: !27, file: !7, line: 55, type: !11) !39 = distinct !DILocalVariable(name: "x", arg: 1, scope: !27, file: !7, line: 55, type: !11) !41 = distinct !DILocalVariable(name: "x", arg: 1, scope: !27, file: !7, line: 55, type: !11)
Second problem:
Prior to rL302576, all clones were described by DISubprogram referring to original function.
define i8* @f(i32 %x) #0 !dbg !6 { ... !6 = distinct !DISubprogram(name: "f", scope: !7, file: !7, line: 55, type: !8, isLocal: false, isDefinition: true, scopeLine: 55, flags: DIFlagPrototyped, define internal fastcc void @f.resume(%f.Frame* %FramePtr) #0 !dbg !25 { ... !25 = distinct !DISubprogram(name: "f", scope: !7, file: !7, line: 55, type: !8, isLocal: false, isDefinition: true, scopeLine: 55, flags: DIFlagPrototyped,
After rL302576, DISubprogram for clones is of two minds, plain name refers to the original name, linkageName refers to plain name of the clone.
!27 = distinct !DISubprogram(name: "f", linkageName: "f.resume", scope: !7, file: !7, line: 55, type: !8, isLocal: false, isDefinition: true, scopeLine: 55,
I think the assumption in AsmPrinter is that both name and linkageName should refer to the same entity. It asserts here when they are not:
|| DeclLinkageName.empty()) || LinkageName == DeclLinkageName) && "decl has a linkage name and it is different"' failed. #9 0x00007f5010261b75 llvm::DwarfUnit::applySubprogramDefinitionAttributes(llvm::DISubprogram const*, llvm::DIE&) /home/gor/llvm/lib/CodeGen/AsmPrinter/DwarfUnit.cpp:1173:3
After this fix, behavior (with respect to coroutines) reverts to exactly as it was before and therefore making them debuggable again, or even more importantly, compilable, with "-g"
Is there a reason this can't be distinct anymore?
You mentioned in the description: "I added caching, but, it is not sufficient, since dbg.value may refer to various expressions representing the same user var, thus, switching form getDistinct to get is important."
But I don't follow quite what you're saying there - could you explain it in more detail/in another way?
What happens without changing this to 'get'?
