Fixed debug info generation for function static variables, typedef, and records

Summary

A Fix for Bug 19238.
Function static variable defined inside a lexical scope, same as typedef and record (class, struct or union), which are declared inside a lexical scope, were all associated to the function as its parent scope, rather than to the lexical scope they are defined or declared inside.

This patch provides a fix for all these three cases in the Clang debug info generation.

This patch is related to "D9758"

The original bug had an example where the inner block has a second static variable, with the same name as the static variable in the outer block. With a different type, to make it more interesting.
It would be nice to have a test like that here.

I did not get feedback on the fix, yet.
Can you please approve or comment if you disagree on this code change?

This could be refactored into a 'getDeclarationLexicalScope' method, as the companion to 'recordDeclarationLexicalScope'.

2236

This would become a call to 'getDeclarationLexicalScope'.

I did not get feedback on the fix, yet.

Actually I had a previous comment on testing.

Made some changes to follow Paul's review:
Added another test for static variables, based on the example from Bug 19238.
Moved some common code to a new helper function.

Applied changes according to David Blaikie commits.
Now, records and typedef entries that are defined inside a lexical block are added to the retained types list.

Updated the LLVM version to 240902 (close to top of trunk preparing for commit).

Do you need to resolve the Context in the retained types iteration? If it's
a lexical block it shouldn't ever be a scope ref, I think? Not sure.

(mostly I'm just concerned aobut the inconsistency between that case and
the global variable case above)

In DwarfCompileUnit - perhaps:

auto LocalDeclNodeRangeForScope = DD->findLocalDeclNodesForScope(DS);

could be changed to:

iterator_range<LocalDeclMap::const_iterator> LocalDeclNodeRangeForScope;
if (!includeMinimalInlineScopes())
  LocalDeclNodeRangeForScope = DD->findLocalDeclNodesForScope(DS);

Then you can drop the includeMinimalInlineScopes() condition from the
following if and the if around the for loop furtehr down, I think? (with
the caveat that I'm not sure if iterator_range is guaranteed (or can be
guaranteed) to produce an empty range - not sure if two default constructed
iterators are guaranteed/meant to be equal to each other - could check the
spec, etc)

Hi David,

The reason I resolve the context for the retained type while I do not for the global variable, is because the “getScope” of the DIType returns a DIScopeRef, while the “getScope” of the DIGlobalVariable returns a DIScope.
I have no idea what are the reasons for this difference, but if we decide to unify the return value of the getScope, it is a change for another patch.

I will do the changes you suggested in DwarfCompileUnit and upload a new version.

Regards,
Amjad
