Explanation: Fixed DCE not to delete instructions that define lexical values.
Lexical values, such as those corresponding to source-level
let
s, cannot be deleted as dead, even when they have no uses. Previously, DCE could delete such values if they had no non-destroy users. Here this is fixed by preventing instructions which introduce lexical values from being deleted.Scope: Bug fix.
