So, before your patch, this is what I am seeing:

  [acme@...e c]$ cat cpp_args_annotate.c
  int
  foo(int a, int b)
  {
     for (unsigned i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++)
       a += b;
     return a;
  }
  
  int main()
  {
     foo (3, 4);
     return 0;
  }

                movl $0x0,-0x4(%rbp)
              ↓ jmp  1d
              a += b;

              return a;
                mov  -0x14(%rbp),%eax
              }
                pop  %rbp
              ← retq
  [acme@...e c]$


Ok, now I see:

              push %rbp
              mov  %rsp,%rbp
              mov  %edi,-0x14(%rbp)
              mov  %esi,-0x18(%rbp)
            for (unsigned i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++)
              movl $0x0,-0x4(%rbp)

            return a;

            }
              pop  %rbp
            ← retq
[acme@...e c]$
  
Ok, continuing the test...
