22 * @brief Implements the Firm interface to debug information.
23 * @author Goetz Lindenmaier, Michael Beck
27 * Firm requires a debugging module fulfilling this interface, else no
28 * debugging information is passed to the backend.
29 * The interface requires a datatype representing the debugging
30 * information. Firm supports administrating a reference to the debug
31 * information in every Firm node. Further Firm optimizations call
32 * routines to propagate debug information from old nodes to new nodes
33 * if the optimization replaces the old ones by the new ones.

129 * Firm transformations call one of these functions.
131 * - dbg_info_merge_pair() is called in the following situation:
132 * The optimization replaced the old node by the new one. The new node
133 * might be a recent allocated node not containing any debug information,
134 * or just another node from somewhere in the graph with the same
136 * - dbg_info_merge_sets() is called in the following situation:
137 * The optimization replaced a subgraph by another subgraph. There is no
138 * obviously mapping between single nodes in both subgraphs. The optimization
139 * simply passes two lists to the debug module, one containing the nodes in
140 * the old subgraph, the other containing the nodes in the new subgraph.
141 * The same node can be in both lists.
143 * Further both functions pass an enumeration indicating the action
144 * performed by the transformation, e.g. the kind of optimization performed.
