cfallin opened PR #2388 from sourceloc to main:

In existing MachInst backends, many instructions -- any that can trap or
result in a relocation -- carry SourceLoc values in order to propagate
the location-in-original-source to use to describe resulting traps or
relocation errors.

This is quite tedious, and also error-prone: it is likely that the
necessary plumbing will be missed in some cases, and in any case, it's
unnecessarily verbose.

This PR factors out the SourceLoc handling so that it is tracked
during emission as part of the EmitState, and plumbed through
automatically by the machine-independent framework. Instruction emission
code that directly emits trap or relocation records can query the
current location as necessary. Then we only need to ensure that memory
references and trap instructions, at their (one) emission point rather
than their (many) lowering/generation points, are wired up correctly.

This does have the side-effect that some loads and stores that do not
correspond directly to user code's heap accesses will have unnecessary
but harmless trap metadata. For example, the load that fetches a code
offset from a jump table will have a 'heap out of bounds' trap record
attached to it; but because it is bounds-checked, and will never
actually trap if the lowering is correct, this should be harmless. The
simplicity improvement here seemed more worthwhile to me than plumbing
through a "corresponds to user-level load/store" bit, because the latter
is a bit complex when we allow for op merging.

Closes #2290: though it does not implement a full "metadata" scheme as
described in that issue, this seems simpler overall.

                sink.add_trap(srcloc, trap_info);

This avoids unnecessary let code = ...; possibly rename the Udf field to trap_code.
