--- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
For debugging most important is to get
(gdb) b foo
still work when foo was merged with bar and the program now calls bar
Similarly nice (but probably impossible) is
(gdb) b foo.c:23
with foo.c:23 inside foo. Of course foo and bar, even if considered equal
by ICF, are by no means equivalent lexically. So foo.c:23 could at most
break at the start of bar. (or give a useful diagnostic from gdb)
