LGTM; in general, it can be useful to always include a comment before a new scope like:
/* New scope to limit lifetime of large stack allocated hash_desc. */
but folks can always refer to the git blame/log for reasoning as to why a new scope was added.
I plan on working on a pass in LLVM to improve stack slot reuse sometime in 2019Q2. Thanks for this patch. Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>
