[swift-dev] DebugScope Verification Error

Thanks a lot for the clarification Adrain and Vedant.

What confused me is the cycle -- A SILFunction has a DeubgScope  and the
DebugScope points back to the SILFunction. During moving instructions
across functions, one can easily mess up the pointers. As you all pointed
out, one needs to also use ScopeCloner to get around this problem.

Does it make sense not to have the cycle, i.e., DebugScopes are made
independent of SILFunction so that multiple SILFunction(s) can share the
same DebugScope?
