This feature was removed recently in #114904 because implemented unsoundly. This PR proposes a simpler re-implementation.
We introduce an additional
references
field inVarDebugInfo
. This additional field allows to optimize out references that are only used for debuginfo:debug x => _1 _1 = &_2
If debuginfo is the only use of
_1
, this would becomedebug x => &_2
For codegen, we associate the local
_2
with the name*x
. This is suboptimal, as most debugger won't understand that*x
is a name, and not the dereference ofx
.
