You need to create a call to the `llvm.dbg.declare` intrinsic that connects the stack variable alloca to a DILocalVariable metadata node, and place the call after the stack variable alloca. The rest of LLVM will handle tracing the stack location through the compiler to the output, including the alloca being promoted.
