This should be reported to the GCC and libgccjit folks.  The most
probable cause is incorrect DWARF debug info emitted by the compiler.
Alternatively, it could be that LLDB interprets the debug info
incorrectly.  I sometimes see similar problems when debugging Emacs,
especially in optimized versions: arguments in function calls are
shown in reverse order, which of course is bogus, since the code
works as expected.
