        <pre>Consider the following code:

a.cc:

  #include <stdio.h>

  struct S {
    S() { printf("Hello!\n"); x = 42; }
    int x;
  };

  __declspec(selectany) S s;

  int main() {
    return s.x;
  }

b.cc:

  #include <stdio.h>

  struct S {
    S() { printf("Hello!\n"); x = 42; }
    int x;
  };

  __declspec(selectany) S s;

When compiled with clang-cl, this will run the global initializer for s twice.
With MSVC, it runs once.

This is because MSVC emits the initializer in a section that's associative with
s, but Clang uses a different approach.

We already have the code to do this in Clang, when using #pragma init_seg with
a non-default segment name. E.g., adding #pragma init_seg(".CRT$XCV") before
the declarations of s in the code above makes it work.

Maybe we should switch to always emit global initializers like this for win32.
Or mabye we should put InitSegAttr on selectany globals?</pre>
