// VarValue returns the SSA Value that corresponds to a specific
// identifier denoting the source-level named variable obj.
//
// VarValue returns nil if a local variable was not found, perhaps
// because its package was not built, the debug information was not
// requested during SSA construction, or the value was optimized away.
//
// ref is the path to an ast.Ident (e.g. from PathEnclosingInterval),
// and that ident must resolve to obj.
//
// pkg is the package enclosing the reference. (A reference to a var
// always occurs within a function, so we need to know where to find it.)
//
// If the identifier is a field selector and its base expression is
// non-addressable, then VarValue returns the value of that field.
// For example:
// func f() struct {x int}
// f().x // VarValue(x) returns a *Field instruction of type int
//
// All other identifiers denote addressable locations (variables).
// For them, VarValue may return either the variable's address or its
// value, even when the expression is evaluated only for its value; the
// situation is reported by isAddr, the second component of the result.
//
// If !isAddr, the returned value is the one associated with the
// specific identifier. For example,
// var x int // VarValue(x) returns Const 0 here
// x = 1 // VarValue(x) returns Const 1 here
//
// It is not specified whether the value or the address is returned in
// any particular case, as it may depend upon optimizations performed
// during SSA code generation, such as registerization, constant
// folding, avoidance of materialization of subexpressions, etc.
//
