----------------
From what I understood, when calculating addresses using location lists,
the location slide is computed as the absolute distance
between the function low PC and the CU low PC.
Then, in DWARFExpression, when testing whether a variable is available at a
given PC,
the Evaluate method computes the absolute address ranges of the location list
(location list offset - location list slide + function base address) and test
if
the current PC falls into that range.
The naive solution here is not maintainable here.
Is the default behaviour due to something specific to the way Clang generates
location list offsets?
What is the use of location slides when calculating location list addresses?
Can I overwrite location slide setting with a custom DWARF parser?
Or should I include the slide offset in the location list generation in the
compiler itself?
