//! # Debug Info Module
//!
//! This module serves the purpose of generating debug symbols. We use LLVM's
//! [source level debugging](http://llvm.org/docs/SourceLevelDebugging.html)
//! features for generating the debug information. The general principle is this:
//!
//! Given the right metadata in the LLVM IR, the LLVM code generator is able to
//! create DWARF debug symbols for the given code. The
//! [metadata](http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#metadata-type) is structured much
//! like DWARF *debugging information entries* (DIE), representing type information
//! such as datatype layout, function signatures, block layout, variable location
//! and scope information, etc. It is the purpose of this module to generate correct
//! metadata and insert it into the LLVM IR.
//!
//! As the exact format of metadata trees may change between different LLVM
//! versions, we now use LLVM
//! [DIBuilder](http://llvm.org/docs/doxygen/html/classllvm_1_1DIBuilder.html) to
//! create metadata where possible. This will hopefully ease the adaption of this
//! module to future LLVM versions.
//!
//! The public API of the module is a set of functions that will insert the correct
//! metadata into the LLVM IR when called with the right parameters. The module is
//! thus driven from an outside client with functions like
//! `debuginfo::create_local_var_metadata(bcx: block, local: &ast::local)`.
//!
//! Internally the module will try to reuse already created metadata by utilizing a
//! cache. The way to get a shared metadata node when needed is thus to just call
//! the corresponding function in this module:
//!
//!     let file_metadata = file_metadata(crate_context, path);
//!
//! The function will take care of probing the cache for an existing node for that
//! exact file path.
//!
//! All private state used by the module is stored within either the
//! CrateDebugContext struct (owned by the CrateContext) or the FunctionDebugContext
//! (owned by the FunctionContext).
//!
//! This file consists of three conceptual sections:
//! 1. The public interface of the module
//! 2. Module-internal metadata creation functions
//! 3. Minor utility functions
//!
//!
//! ## Recursive Types
//!
//! Some kinds of types, such as structs and enums can be recursive. That means that
//! the type definition of some type X refers to some other type which in turn
//! (transitively) refers to X. This introduces cycles into the type referral graph.
//! A naive algorithm doing an on-demand, depth-first traversal of this graph when
//! describing types, can get trapped in an endless loop when it reaches such a
//! cycle.
//!
//! For example, the following simple type for a singly-linked list...
//!
//! ```
//! struct List {
//!     value: int,
//!     tail: Option<Box<List>>,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! will generate the following callstack with a naive DFS algorithm:
//!
//! ```
//! describe(t = List)
//!   describe(t = int)
//!   describe(t = Option<Box<List>>)
//!     describe(t = Box<List>)
//!       describe(t = List) // at the beginning again...
//!       ...
//! ```
//!
//! To break cycles like these, we use "forward declarations". That is, when the
//! algorithm encounters a possibly recursive type (any struct or enum), it
//! immediately creates a type description node and inserts it into the cache
//! *before* describing the members of the type. This type description is just a
//! stub (as type members are not described and added to it yet) but it allows the
//! algorithm to already refer to the type. After the stub is inserted into the
//! cache, the algorithm continues as before. If it now encounters a recursive
//! reference, it will hit the cache and does not try to describe the type anew.
//!
//! This behaviour is encapsulated in the 'RecursiveTypeDescription' enum, which
//! represents a kind of continuation, storing all state needed to continue
//! traversal at the type members after the type has been registered with the cache.
//! (This implementation approach might be a tad over-engineered and may change in
//! the future)
//!
//!
//! ## Source Locations and Line Information
//!
//! In addition to data type descriptions the debugging information must also allow
//! to map machine code locations back to source code locations in order to be useful.
//! This functionality is also handled in this module. The following functions allow
//! to control source mappings:
//!
//! + set_source_location()
//! + clear_source_location()
//! + start_emitting_source_locations()
//!
//! `set_source_location()` allows to set the current source location. All IR
//! instructions created after a call to this function will be linked to the given
//! source location, until another location is specified with
//! `set_source_location()` or the source location is cleared with
//! `clear_source_location()`. In the later case, subsequent IR instruction will not
//! be linked to any source location. As you can see, this is a stateful API
//! (mimicking the one in LLVM), so be careful with source locations set by previous
//! calls. It's probably best to not rely on any specific state being present at a
//! given point in code.
//!
//! One topic that deserves some extra attention is *function prologues*. At the
//! beginning of a function's machine code there are typically a few instructions
//! for loading argument values into allocas and checking if there's enough stack
//! space for the function to execute. This *prologue* is not visible in the source
//! code and LLVM puts a special PROLOGUE END marker into the line table at the
//! first non-prologue instruction of the function. In order to find out where the
//! prologue ends, LLVM looks for the first instruction in the function body that is
//! linked to a source location. So, when generating prologue instructions we have
//! to make sure that we don't emit source location information until the 'real'
//! function body begins. For this reason, source location emission is disabled by
//! default for any new function being translated and is only activated after a call
//! to the third function from the list above, `start_emitting_source_locations()`.
//! This function should be called right before regularly starting to translate the
//! top-level block of the given function.
//!
//! There is one exception to the above rule: `llvm.dbg.declare` instruction must be
//! linked to the source location of the variable being declared. For function
//! parameters these `llvm.dbg.declare` instructions typically occur in the middle
//! of the prologue, however, they are ignored by LLVM's prologue detection. The
//! `create_argument_metadata()` and related functions take care of linking the
//! `llvm.dbg.declare` instructions to the correct source locations even while
//! source location emission is still disabled, so there is no need to do anything
//! special with source location handling here.
//!
//! ## Unique Type Identification
//!
//! In order for link-time optimization to work properly, LLVM needs a unique type
//! identifier that tells it across compilation units which types are the same as
//! others. This type identifier is created by TypeMap::get_unique_type_id_of_type()
//! using the following algorithm:
//!
//! (1) Primitive types have their name as ID
//! (2) Structs, enums and traits have a multipart identifier
//!
//!     (1) The first part is the SVH (strict version hash) of the crate they were
//!         originally defined in
//!
//!     (2) The second part is the ast::NodeId of the definition in their original
//!         crate
//!
//!     (3) The final part is a concatenation of the type IDs of their concrete type
//!         arguments if they are generic types.
//!
//! (3) Tuple-, pointer and function types are structurally identified, which means
//!     that they are equivalent if their component types are equivalent (i.e. (int,
//!     int) is the same regardless in which crate it is used).
//!
//! This algorithm also provides a stable ID for types that are defined in one crate
//! but instantiated from metadata within another crate. We just have to take care
//! to always map crate and node IDs back to the original crate context.
//!
//! As a side-effect these unique type IDs also help to solve a problem arising from
//! lifetime parameters. Since lifetime parameters are completely omitted in
//! debuginfo, more than one `Ty` instance may map to the same debuginfo type
//! metadata, that is, some struct `Struct<'a>` may have N instantiations with
//! different concrete substitutions for `'a`, and thus there will be N `Ty`
//! instances for the type `Struct<'a>` even though it is not generic otherwise.
//! Unfortunately this means that we cannot use `ty::type_id()` as cheap identifier
//! for type metadata---we have done this in the past, but it led to unnecessary
//! metadata duplication in the best case and LLVM assertions in the worst. However,
//! the unique type ID as described above *can* be used as identifier. Since it is
//! comparatively expensive to construct, though, `ty::type_id()` is still used
//! additionally as an optimization for cases where the exact same type has been
//! seen before (which is most of the time).
