[debug] Add -gdescribe-dies
This patch adds option -gdescribe-dies. It sets the DW_AT_description attribute of dies that do not get a DW_AT_name attribute, to make it easier to figure out what the die is describing. The option exports the names of artificial variables: ... DIE 0: DW_TAG_variable (0x7fa934dd54b0) + DW_AT_description: "D.1922" DW_AT_type: die -> 0 (0x7fa934dd0d70) DW_AT_artificial: 1 ... which can be traced back to gimple dumps: ... char a[0:D.1922] [value-expr: *a.0]; ... Furthermore, it adds names to external references: ... DIE 0: DW_TAG_subprogram (0x7fa88b9650f0) +DW_AT_description: "main" DW_AT_abstract_origin: die -> label: vla_1.c.6719312a + 29 (0x7fa88b965140) ... and likewise to DW_TAG_call_site_parameter DIEs. Bootstrapped and reg-tested on x86_64. 2018-09-12 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> * common.opt (gdescribe-dies): Add option. * dwarf2out.c (add_name_and_src_coords_attributes): Add description attribute for artifical and nameless decls. (dwarf2out_register_external_die): Add description attribute to external reference die. (add_desc_attribute): New functions. (gen_subprogram_die): Add description attribute to DW_TAG_call_site_parameter. * tree-pretty-print.c (print_generic_expr_to_str): New function. * tree-pretty-print.h (print_generic_expr_to_str): Declare. * doc/invoke.texi (@item Debugging Options): Add -gdescribe-dies and -gno-describe-dies. (@item -gdescribe-dies): Add. From-SVN: r264229
