[LLVMdev] Placing globals in specific sections

[Yossi Kreinin]

Hi!

The LLVM Bytecode File Format specifies an optional SectionID attribute
for globals. I didn't find a matching attribute in the LLVM source code.
Code such as:

   int a __attribute__ ((section ("A_SECTION")));

compiles with llvm-gcc, but apparently the section information is
stripped (the object file doesn't contain "A_SECTION").

Is the SectionID feature implemented or just defined?

TIA,
Yossi
