llvm.dbg.declare deprecation #3595

Open sklam opened 5 years ago

sklam commented 5 years ago

Variable debug info is marked with llvm.dbg.declare, which is pending deprecation according to llvm docs. A new llvm.dbg.addr is available to replace the deprecated API. The two API have the same interface so we can easily substitute the one API. See https://reviews.llvm.org/D37768.

However, NVVM IR 1.5 doesn't support the new llvm.dbg.addr yet. Otherwise, we could make the change right now.

note that NVVM IR 1.5 is only available when using bitcode. text IR is stuck on an older version.
