            Bug ID: 18885
           Summary: -fms-extensions should implement MSVC's section
                    pragmas (const_seg, data_seg, etc)
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Frontend
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: rnk at google.com
                CC: llvmbugs at cs.uiuc.edu
            Blocks: 13707
    Classification: Unclassified

The relevant MSDN docs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1dc22465.aspx

The grammar:
#pragma const_seg( [ [ { push | pop}, ] [ identifier, ] ] [ "segment-name" [,
"segment-class" ] )

This is important because it's used to register initializers and finalizers
similar to __attribute__((section(".init_array"))) in ELF.

David says that we'll have to extend LLVM IR to encode the section properties
such as readonly, executable, initialized, etc.
