[PATCH] D21743: Convenience function for MCStreamer to get named sections when lowering.

[Dean Michael Berris via llvm-commits]

dberris added a comment.

I spent some time trying to find existing cases where this might be helpful, but I've yet to find suitable ones. Granted I've only looked at lib/Target/X86/*.

Most of the cases where this comes up are pretty straight-forward, using functions from TargetLoweringObjectFile to get the section for globals, etc. -- special section creation isn't very well supported through that interface either.

Extracting the flags might be doable but bringing ELF'isms out when lowering might be a little much.

Any suggestions on where else to look for cases where this interface (or an evolution of it) might be useful?
