            Bug ID: 15529
           Summary: DISubprogram treats return type in inconsistent way
                    causing assertion failure in Verify
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Core LLVM classes
          Assignee: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified

I try to create debug info for a function which returns an int.

The return type is created via DIBuilder->createBasicType() and the returned
object is passed to DIBuilder->createFunction() as the return type.
I get an assertion failure if I call DISubprogram->Verify() on such constructed
object.

According to the DWARF 3/4 spec my approach is legal. The right value is
returned by DISubprogram->getReturnTypeName() because it is implemented as the
comment specifies:

    /// getReturnTypeName - Subprogram return types are encoded either as
    /// DIType or as DICompositeType.

But:
- DISubprogram->Verify() fails because it always expects a DICompositeType
- You can't retrieve the return type if it is different from DICompositeType
because DISubprogram->getType() always returns a DICompositeType.

Resolution would be:
(a) always require a DICompositeType for the return type OR
(b) implement getType() and Verify() analog to getReturnTypeName()
