[Driver] Simplify -g level computation and its interaction with -gsplit-dwarf
Summary:
When -gsplit-dwarf is used together with other -g options, in most cases
the computed debug info level is decided by the last -g option, with one
special case (see below). This patch drops that special case and thus
makes it easy to reason about:
// If a lower debug level -g comes after -gsplit-dwarf, in some cases
// -gsplit-dwarf is cancelled.
-gsplit-dwarf -g0 => 0
-gsplit-dwarf -gline-directives-only => DebugDirectivesOnly
-gsplit-dwarf -gmlt -fsplit-dwarf-inlining => 1
-gsplit-dwarf -gmlt -fno-split-dwarf-inlining => 1 + split
// If -gsplit-dwarf comes after -g options, with this patch, the net
// effect is 2 + split for all combinations
-g0 -gsplit-dwarf => 2 + split
-gline-directives-only -gsplit-dwarf => 2 + split
-gmlt -gsplit-dwarf -fsplit-dwarf-inlining => 2 + split
-gmlt -gsplit-dwarf -fno-split-dwarf-inlining => 1 + split (before) 2 + split (after)
The last case has been changed. In general, if the user intends to lower
debug info level, place that -g option after -gsplit-dwarf.
Some context:
In gcc, the last of -gsplit-dwarf -g0 -g1 -g2 -g3 -ggdb[0-3] -gdwarf-*
... decides the debug info level (-gsplit-dwarf -gdwarf-* have level 2).
It is a bit unfortunate that -gsplit-dwarf -gdwarf-* ... participate in
the level computation but that is the status quo.
