This patch prevents dsymutil from resolving a reference to a NULL DIE
when a bogus reference happens to be coincidentally referencing a NULL
DIE. Now this is detected as an invalid reference and a warning is
printed.

10 ↗ | (On Diff #115993) | Do you need the final binary file? My guess is that you only need the .o file and a debug map which can be YAML. You can use 'llvm-dsymutil -dump-debug-map' on null_die to extract it. |

1498–1503 | I would add a comment here. There is no valid reason for the DIE to be NULL. Something along the lines of "In a file with broken references, an attribute might point to a NULL DIE". |

4–10 ↗ | (On Diff #115993) | This seems like a rather large test case for this small issue? |
- Address review comments from Fred and David.
- Convert test to YAML with instruction on how to reproduce the binary.

11–20 | This DWARF could be a bit simpler by skipping argc and argv and having foo be void() rather than int(int), have foo call some other function & compile without optimizations: void f1() {} __attribute__((always_inline)) void f2() { f1(); } int main() { f2(); } (marginally simpler if 'int main' were just 'void f3' - though then I guess you'd need a stub object (which wouldn't need debug info anyway) to link in main, not sure, which might be more hassle than necessary - if you did that you could also put f1 out of line in that object file so there would be no DWARF for f1 either, again simplifying the test case a bit) Also potentially simpler if this is in C++ and f2 is marked 'inline' as well, that way there's no out of line definition of f2. |
I think the test can go in the generic test directory. If you're not generating any output, it shouldn't need the X86 backend.
Otherwise, LGTM
