Include debug info for types referenced only via explicit cast expressions.
Most of the debug info emission is powered essentially from function definitions - if we emit the definition of a function, we emit the types of its parameters, the members of those types, and so on and so forth. For types that aren't referenced even indirectly due to this - because they only appear in temporary expressions, not in any named variable, we need to explicitly emit/add them as is done here. This is not the only case of such code, and we might want to consider handling "void func(void*); ... func(new T());" (currently debug info for T is not emitted) at some point, though GCC doesn't. There's a much broader solution to these issues, but it's a lot of work for possibly marginal gain (but might help us improve the default -fno-standalone-debug behavior to be even more aggressive in some places). See the original review thread for more details. Patch by jyoti allur (jyoti.yalamanchili@gmail.com)! Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D2498 llvm-svn: 218390
