...ching a global variable to a function. In this way one could be able to specify a that a global variable should appear before the corresponding function in the object code. An example of a possible implementation of (2) has been recently suggested by Gabor Greif. He proposes adding a "placebefore" attribute to global variables (or, similarly, a "placeafter" attribute for functions). The corresponding example is: @foo_D = common global %struct.Descr zeroinitializer, align 8, placebefore @foo define i32 @foo() nounwind uwtable readnone { ret i32 undef } The quest...

...sense within a linker section, but modeling "the table" and "the code" as two different LLVM values (a global value and a function) would mean that the optimizer will be tempted to put them into different sections, do dead code elimination, etc. > He proposes adding a "placebefore" > attribute to global variables (or, similarly, a "placeafter" attribute > for functions). The corresponding example is: This is a non-starter for a few reasons, but that doesn't mean that there aren't other reasonable options. I'd really like to see the codegen...
