The SelectionDAGBuilder translates various conditional branches into
CaseBlocks which are then translated into SDNodes. If a conditional
branch results in multiple CaseBlocks only the first CaseBlock is
translated into SDNodes immediately, the rest of the CaseBlocks are
put in a queue and processed when all LLVM IR instructions in the
basic block have been processed.
When a CaseBlock is transformed into SDNodes the SelectionDAGBuilder
is queried for the current LLVM IR instruction and the resulting
SDNodes are annotated with the debug info of the current
instruction (if it exists and has debug metadata).
When the deferred CaseBlocks are processed, the SelectionDAGBuilder
does not have a current LLVM IR instruction, and the resulting SDNodes
will not have any debuginfo. As DwarfDebug::beginInstruction() outputs
a .loc directive for the first instruction in a labeled
block (typically the case for something coming from a CaseBlock) this
tends to produce a line-0 directive.
This patch changes the handling of CaseBlocks to store the current
instruction's debug info into the CaseBlock when it is created (and the
SelectionDAGBuilder knows the current instruction) and to always use
the stored debug info when translating a CaseBlock to SDNodes.
