Hi David,

with imported declaration patch and with current patch(in review or say gcc way) this case works ok(we can print type and value of newname)
$cat test.c
int oldname = 1;
extern int newname attribute((alias("oldname")));

but when we make newname static it works with current patch(in review or say gcc way) but it does not work with imported decl patch(https://reviews.llvm.org/D103131?id=347883).

Should we go with gcc way or am I missing something?
note: used gdb debugger.
