refs/heads/users/zoran/allow-location-description-on-dwarf-stack Add support for nested composite locations
After allowing a location description to be placed on a DWARF stack,
in an effort to achieve a full composability of the DWARF expression,
it is necessary to enable forming of a nested composite location
descriptions.
To be able do this, a new operation DW_OP_LLVM_piece_end needs to be
introduced, along with some additional rules on the way how the
composite location description is formed using the existing DW_OP_piece
and DW_OP_bit_piece operations. These new rules are fully compatible
with the composite forming rules from the DWARF 5 standard.
More details on the new operation and added rules can be found here:
