--- Comment #3 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
This is in the arrays passed to __asan_{,un}register_globals.
Now, we emit
/* Build
struct __asan_global
{
const void *__beg;
uptr __size;
uptr __size_with_redzone;
const void *__name;
const void *__module_name;
uptr __has_dynamic_init;
__asan_global_source_location *__location;
char *__odr_indicator;
} type. */
so __module_name should be the filename the global appeared in (so for LTO
DECL_NAME of corresponding TRANSLATION_UNIT_DECL?), while __location has more
details.
But, looking on the libsanitizer side, it has
// This structure describes an instrumented global variable.
struct __asan_global {
uptr beg; // The address of the global.
uptr size; // The original size of the global.
uptr size_with_redzone; // The size with the redzone.
const char *name; // Name as a C string.
const char *module_name; // Module name as a C string. This pointer is a
// unique identifier of a module.
uptr has_dynamic_init; // Non-zero if the global has dynamic initializer.
uptr windows_padding; // TODO: Figure out how to remove this padding
// that's simply here to make the MSVC incremental
// linker happy...
uptr odr_indicator; // The address of the ODR indicator symbol.
};
so I wonder if emitting the locations isn't just wasted .rodata if libasan
considers it being a windows_padding. In GCC 12 libsanitizer it was still
location:

@@ -53,8 +53,9 @@ extern "C" {

};
So I wonder what kind of mess upstream introduced again.
