Once we don't lose the debug info for the coalesced user vars, this
would be fine. I assume this patch would be part of the
var_tracking_assignments changes. It is not acceptable in mainline
until the debug info for these user variables are maintained somehow.
So do I understand this correctly? the improved debug info is being
controlled by a flag (-fvar-tracking-assignments) rather than just the
-g option? If thats the case this patch would clearly have to be under
the same flag or we'd be destroying debug info we do have today when it
wasn't used. I presume the reason is -fvar-tracking-assignments affects
generated code, and the long term goal is to solve that issue and to
remove the -fvar-tracking-assignments option and simply use -g?
