The Assignment Tracking debug-info feature is outlined in this RFC:

Update the RemoveRedundantDbgInstrs utility to avoid sometimes losing
information when deleting dbg.assign intrinsics.
removeRedundantDbgInstrsUsingBackwardScan - treat dbg.assign intrinsics that
are not linked to any instruction just like dbg.values. That is, in a block of
contiguous debug intrinsics, delete all other than the last definition for a
fragment. Leave linked dbg.assign intrinsics in place.
removeRedundantDbgInstrsUsingForwardScan - Don't delete linked dbg.assign
intrinsics and don't delete the next intrinsic found even if it would otherwise
be eligible for deletion.
remomveUndefDbgAssignsFromEntryBlock - Delete undef and unlinked dbg.assign
intrinsics encountered in the entry block that come before non-undef
non-unlinked intrinsics for the same variable.
