[IR] Allow attributes with global variables 2017-05-11T12:28:08+00:00 Javed Absar javed.absar@arm.com 2017-05-11T12:28:08+00:00 f3d7904d20120fb6e4b33cd391b916ca6701e03e This patch extends llvm-ir to allow attributes to be set on global variables. An RFC was sent out earlier by my colleague James Molloy: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2017-March/053100.html A key part of that proposal was to extend LLVM-IR to carry attributes on global variables. This generic feature could be useful for multiple purposes. In our present context, it would be useful to carry user specified sections for bss/rodata/data.
