testcase

The following IR debug instruction/metadata (please see attachment for the full
file):

@a = global i8 25, align 1, !dbg !0

; Function Attrs: nounwind ssp uwtable
define signext i16 @b() #0 !dbg !12 {
entry:
  call void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata i16 23680, metadata !17, metadata
!DIExpression()), !dbg !18
  %0 = load i8, i8* @a, align 1, !dbg !19, !tbaa !20
  %conv = sext i8 %0 to i16, !dbg !19
  call void @llvm.dbg.value(metadata i16 %conv, metadata !17, metadata
!DIExpression()), !dbg !18
  %call = call i32 (...) @optimize_me_not(), !dbg !23
  %1 = load i8, i8* @a, align 1, !dbg !24, !tbaa !20
  %conv1 = sext i8 %1 to i16, !dbg !24
  ret i16 %conv1, !dbg !25
}


Gets lowered into:

$ ./llc -filetype=obj ./baciotto.ll -o Palatino
$ dwarfdump ./patatino

[…]

0x00000046:     TAG_subprogram [4] *

                 AT_type( {0x00000095} ( short ) )

                     AT_name( "i" )
                     AT_decl_file(
"/Users/dcci/work/llvm/build-debug/bin/run.c" )
                     AT_decl_line( 3 )
                     AT_type( {0x00000095} ( short ) )

0x0000006d:         NULL

Somehow, somewhere in the backend or in MC we loose track that the variable
gets reassigned to the value loaded from the global @a. This degrades the debug
info quality, printing the wrong value.
