I think I've run into that with dwarf as well, and there AFAIK it can be 
gotten rid of by adding "-mllvm -use-unknown-locations=Disable".

[llvm-dev] LLD PDB Lines zero number issue

Hi Martin,

I tried your suggestion of adding "-mllvm
-use-unknown-locations=Disable" in the clang CC flag to build test case in
my previous email, but it looks still not work in my side with llvm 9.0.0. 
Could you give me some more advices? Do I need to use the master LLVM instead of
the 9.0.0?

[llvm-dev] LLD PDB Lines zero number issue

I checked the LLVM master code and find that the “-use-unknown-locations” option
and its related logic is only supported for Dwarf debug info as below. These
codes are missing in the Codeview side. It looks the “-use-unknown-locations”
option logic is not complex, could we port the code logic into
llvm\lib\CodeGen\AsmPrinter\CodeViewDebug.cpp as well? I’ve submitted a BZ for
this requirment: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44522

llvm-project\llvm\lib\CodeGen\AsmPrinter\DwarfDebug.cpp :
static cl::opt<DefaultOnOff> UnknownLocations(
    "use-unknown-locations", cl::Hidden,
    cl::desc("Make an absence of debug location information
explicit."),
    cl::values(clEnumVal(Default, "At top of block or after label"),
               clEnumVal(Enable, "In all cases"), clEnumVal(Disable,
"Never")),
    cl::init(Default));
... ...
    // If user said Don't Do That, don't do that.
    if (UnknownLocations == Disable)
      return;


This issue blocks the LLVM toolchain debugging capability for UEFI firmware.
Please help to add the support. Thank you in advance!



Thanks
