Line numbers of multiply-inlined functions were fixed in #114643 by using a
single DISubprogram. That, however, triggered assertions because parameters
weren't deduplicated. The "solution" to that in #115417 was to insert a
DILexicalScope below the DISubprogram and parent all of the parameters to that
scope. That fixed the assertion, but debuggers (including gdb and lldb) don't
recognize variables that are not parented to the subprogram itself as parameters,
even if they are emitted with DW_TAG_formal_parameter.
Consider the program:
use std::env;
fn square(n: i32) -> i32 {
n * n
}
fn square_no_inline(n: i32) -> i32 {
n * n
}
fn main() {
let x = square(env::vars().count() as i32);
let y = square_no_inline(env::vars().count() as i32);
println!("{x} == {y}");
}
When making a release build with debug=2 and rustc 1.82.0-nightly (8b3870784 2024-08-07)
(gdb) r

This issue is particularly annoying because it removes arguments from stack traces.
The DWARF for the inlined function looks like this:

< 3><0x0000214f GOFF=0x0000214f> DW_TAG_null
That DW_TAG_lexical_block inhibits every debugger I've tested from recognizing
'n' as a parameter.
This patch removes the additional lexical scope. Parameters can be easily
deduplicated by a tuple of their scope and the argument index, at the trivial
cost of taking a Hash + Eq bound on DIScope.
