[DebugInfo] Emit DW_OP_implicit_value for Floating point constants
llvm is missing support for DW_OP_implicit_value operation. DW_OP_implicit_value op is indispensable for cases such as optimized out long double variables. For intro refer: DWARFv5 Spec Pg: 40 2.6.1.1.4 Implicit Location Descriptions Consider the following example: ``` int main() { long double ld = 3.14; printf("dummy\n"); ld *= ld; return 0; } ``` when compiled with tunk `clang` as `clang test.c -g -O1` produces following location description of variable `ld`: ``` DW_AT_location (0x00000000: [0x0000000000201691, 0x000000000020169b): DW_OP_constu 0xc8f5c28f5c28f800, DW_OP_stack_value, DW_OP_piece 0x8, DW_OP_constu 0x4000, DW_OP_stack_value, DW_OP_bit_piece 0x10 0x40, DW_OP_stack_value) DW_AT_name ("ld") ``` Here one may notice that this representation is incorrect(DWARF4 stack could only hold integers(and only up to the size of address)). Here the variable size itself is `128` bit. GDB and LLDB confirms this: ``` (gdb) p ld $1 = <invalid float value> (lldb) frame variable ld (long double) ld = <extracting data from value failed> ``` GCC represents/uses DW_OP_implicit_value in these sort of situations. Based on the discussion with Jakub Jelinek regarding GCC's motivation for using this, I concluded that DW_OP_implicit_value is most appropriate in this case. Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2020-July/233057.html GDB seems happy after this patch:(LLDB doesn't have support for DW_OP_implicit_value) ``` (gdb) p ld p ld $1 = 3.14000000000000012434 ``` Reviewed By: aprantl Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D83560
