Summary:
This node represents can be used to refer to the initial value, which is
sometimes pushed onto the DWARF stack as the "input" to the DWARF
expression. The typical use case (and the reason why I'm introducing it)
is that the "Canonical Frame Address" is passed this way to the DWARF
expressions computing the values of registers during frame unwind.
The nodes are converted into dwarf by keeping track of DWARF stack depth
an any given point, and then copying the initial value from the bottom
of the stack via the DW_OP_pick opcode. This could be made more
efficient for simple expressions, but here I chose to start with the
most general implementation possible.
