Hi! The testcase in the PR (not included for the testsuite because we don't have an (easy) way to -fcompare-debug LTO, we'd need 2 compilations/linking, one with -g and one with -g0 and -fdump-rtl-final= at the end of lto1 and compare that) has different code generation for -g vs. -g0.
The difference appears during expansion, where we have a goto_locus that is at -O0 compared to the INSN_LOCATION of the previous and next insn across an edge. With -g0 the locations are equal and so no nop is added. With -g the locations aren't equal and so a nop is added holding that location. The reason for the different location is in the way how we stream in locations by lto1. We have lto_location_cache::apply_location_cache that is called with some set of expanded locations, qsorts them, creates location_t's for those and remembers the last expanded location. lto_location_cache::input_location_and_block when read in expanded_location is equal to the last expanded location just reuses the last location_t (or adds/changes/removes LOCATION_BLOCK in it), when it is not queues it for next apply_location_cache. Now, when streaming in -g input, we can see extra locations that don't appear with -g0, and if we are unlucky enough, those can be sorted last during apply_location_cache and affect what locations are used from the single entry cache next. In particular, second apply_location_cache with non-empty loc_cache in the testcase has 14 locations with -g0 and 16 with -g and those 2 extra ones sort both last (they are the same). The last one from -g0 then appears to be input_location_and_block sourced again, for -g0 triggers the single entry cache, while for -g it doesn't and so apply_location_cache will create for it another location_t with the same content. The following patch fixes it by comparing everything we care about the location instead (well, better in addition) to a simple location_t == location_t check. I think we don't care about the sysp flag for debug info...
