[cfe-dev] manipulating @llvm.var.annotation in AST?

[Mark Brown]

I do not see any kind of AnnotateAttr object in VarDecl or anything it
inherits, and I also dont see where AnnotateAttr inherits something for it
to be inserted into the AST.

How exactly do you add a AnnotateAttr? What is it added to?

Thank you for the reply
