Where in C++ module streaming to handle a new bitfield added in "tree_decl_common"

[Qing Zhao via Gcc-patches]

Hi, Nathan,

I am adding a new bitfield “decl_not_flexarray” in “tree_decl_common”  
(gcc/tree-core.h) for the new gcc feature -fstrict-flex-arrays.

Richard mentioned the following:

"I've not seen it so you are probably missing it - the bit has to be
streamed in tree-streamer-{in,out}.cc to be usable from LTO.  Possibly
C++ module streaming also needs to handle it.”

I have figured out that where to add the handling of the bit in 
“tree-streamer-{in, out}.cc,
However, it’s quite difficult for me to locate where should I add the handling 
of this new bit in 
C++ module streaming,  could you please help me on this?

Thanks a lot for your help.
