Since you're changing the IR please also add a round-trip test (llvm-as | llvm-dis | llvm-as | llvm-dis).

The C-API is considered stable. You could extend it if you have a use case for this?

Not currently. I'm happy removing this part of the change.

Since you're changing the IR please also add a round-trip test (llvm-as | llvm-dis | llvm-as | llvm-dis).

OK. Will do.

I'm guessing this source code is out of date, since it doesn't appear to include a global variable template named 'var'?

Presumably this should actually be named 'var<int>'? Not a big deal, since this is just using whatever name is in the IR To begin with - but might make the test case less confusing.

Yep. That's out of date. Will fix.

Update source code in template test

In this case, the template parameters are not added to the variable name.

Why's that?

The parameters are part of the variable name for class and function templates - seems they'd be necessary/useful to disambiguate for variable templates too.

(though I do see that GCC (8.1) also doesn't seem to put template parameters on variable templates... )

I did implement that in a previous patch (D44842), but it breaks LLDB's global symbol lookup.

Correction: It breaks global variable look up, not global symbol lookup.

Thanks!

Fair enough - not a bug to be fixed here anyway. Hopefully LLDB is tracking the fix for that & Clang can switch over after that. Assuming it works for GDB.

(though perhaps it'd be best to make this test case look like the expected name (rather than the bug-workaround name) - so as to be less surprising to folks working on LLVM/reading this in the future?)

Thanks for your comments! Does my Clang patch need further review?
