The coroutine transformation would leave locals in the local
variable table across the code that reloads local variables from
the continuation on reentry. However, when reentering the function
the local has no value until after the reloads from the
continuation.
This change splits the locals in the local variable table to
avoid such uninitialized locals. A local alive across a
suspension point has its range split in two. One that goes
from the original start to the state label for the restart
after the suspension. The other goes from after the local
has been reloaded from the continuation until the previous
end of the local.
This solves no immediate deficiency, but is a to-do that arose as part
of an ongoing effort to port the old, slightly too restrictive
checkLocalVariableTable tests to the more "functional" debugger
infrastructure.
This just shaves a little bit of overhead off the test expectations
and couples them less tightly to the specifics of the test
infrastructure.
Reveals discrepancy in LVT presence on lambda implementations on the
old and new backend.
The generated code in the constructors of Suspend Lambda objects is
identical, but the IR backend generates an LVT with the constructor
parameters.
The user has to be very insistent to see this ("for step into" +
disabling "Show only kotlin variables"), but it is an observable
difference.
