				Changes to the Debug Info
				---------------------------------

				* LLVM now supports the debug entry values (DW_OP_entry_value) production for
				the x86, ARM, and AArch64 targets by default. Other targets can use
				the utility by using the experimental option ("-debug-entry-values").
				This is a debug info feature that allows debuggers to recover the value of
				optimized-out parameters by going up a stack frame and interpreting the values
				passed to the callee. The feature improves the debugging user experience when
				debugging optimized code.
