[clang][DebugInfo] Add virtuality call-site target information in DWARF. (#182510)
Given the test case:
struct CBase {
virtual void foo();
};
void bar(CBase *Base) {
Base->foo();
}
and using '-emit-call-site-info' with llc, the following DWARF
is produced for the indirect call 'Base->foo()':
1$: DW_TAG_structure_type "CBase"
...
2$: DW_TAG_subprogram "foo"
...
3$: DW_TAG_subprogram "bar"
...
4$: DW_TAG_call_site
...
We add DW_AT_LLVM_virtual_call_origin to existing call-site
information, linking indirect calls to the function-declaration
they correspond to.
4$: DW_TAG_call_site
...
DW_AT_LLVM_virtual_call_origin (2$ "_ZN5CBase3fooEv")
The new attribute DW_AT_LLVM_virtual_call_origin helps to
address the ambiguity to any consumer due to the usage of
DW_AT_call_origin.
The functionality is available to all supported debuggers and
it is generated only for DWARF version 5 or greater.
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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
