Teach LiveDebugValues about lexical scopes.
This addresses PR26055 LiveDebugValues is very slow.
Contrary to the old LiveDebugVariables pass LiveDebugValues currently
doesn't look at the lexical scopes before inserting a DBG_VALUE
intrinsic. This means that we often propagate DBG_VALUEs much further
down than necessary. This is especially noticeable in large C++
functions with many inlined method calls that all use the same
"this"-pointer.
For example, in the following code it makes no sense to propagate the
inlined variable a from the first inlined call to f() into any of the
subsequent basic blocks, because the variable will always be out of
scope:
void sink(int a);
void __attribute((always_inline)) f(int a) { sink(a); }
void foo(int i) {
f(i);
if (i)
f(i);
f(i);
}
This patch reuses the LexicalScopes infrastructure we have for
LiveDebugVariables to take this into account.
The effect on compile time and memory consumption is quite noticeable:
I tested a benchmark that is a large C++ source with an enormous
amount of inlined "this"-pointers that would previously eat >24GiB
(most of them for DBG_VALUE intrinsics) and whose compile time was
dominated by LiveDebugValues. With this patch applied the memory
consumption is 1GiB and 1.7% of the time is spent in LiveDebugValues.
