Add option to generate additional debug info for expression dereferencing pointer to pointers. (#81545)

Such expression does not correspond to a variable in the source code
thus does not have a debug location. When the user collects perf data on
the program, if the intermediate memory load instruction is sampled, it
could not be attributed to any variable/class member, which causes the
sampling results to be under-counted.
This patch adds an option `-fdebug_info_for_pointer_type` to generate a
psuedo variable and its debug info for intermediate expression with
pointer dereferencing, so that perf data collected on the instruction of
that expression can be attributed to the correct class member.

This is a prototype so comments are needed.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
