Yes, tests fail without the patches in the series.  To give more details on this:

Without the series, using g++ 8.3.0 or 7.4.0, the pass/fail result is 378/546.

With the series;
* using g++ 8.3.0 or 7.4.0, it is 924/0.
* using g++ 5.5.0 or 6.5.0, it is 699/225.
* using clang++ 7.0.0 or 8.0.0, it is 727/197.

For the latter two, the main reason for failures is that the compiler does not emit the DW_AT_defaulted and DW_AT_deleted attributes.  There are more passes with clang because it emits DW_AT_calling_convention, which gcc does not, and the patch I sent favors compiler's hint if it detects a conflict between the DW_AT_calling_convention and the inferred result.

Done.  I'll send this with the next revision; I want to revise the other patches in the series, too, and send the v2 in one go.

Thanks.
