Hi, I am looking for a small clarification. I understand that during late SIMPLE_IPA_PASSes some statically initialized global variables might have error_mark_node trees in their DECL_INITIAL field.
I believe that I read something similar in the past about how to get the tree expressions in these situations, and I believe it said one had to stream in those symbols from the .gnu.lto_.decl section. However, on the GCC Internals there is also the following mention: "If the DECL_INITIAL is the error_mark_node, there is an initializer, but it is given by an explicit statement later in the code; no bitwise copy is required. " [0] What (if any) is the correct way to get these expressions? As a note, when running this pass as an IPA_PASS I am able to see the DECL_INITIAL node of the variable of interest during LGEN. Thanks! [0] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Working-with-declarations.html
