[PATCH] D32009: Allow attributes with global variables

[Javed Absar via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

javed.absar created this revision.

This patch extends llvm-ir to allow attributes to be set on global variables.

An RFC was sent out earlier by my colleague James Molloy:   http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2017-March/053100.html

A key part of that proposal was to extend LLVM-IR to carry attributes on global variables. This generic feature could be useful for multiple purposes. In our present context, it would be useful to carry  user specified sections for bss/rodata/data.
