eandrews added a comment. Thanks for the review Reid. Sorry for the delay in my response. I was OOO.
I am not sure if a new attribute is necessary. __ attribute __(used) is already supported in Clang. While this attribute can be used to retain static constants, it would require the user to modify the source which may not always be possible/practical. Its also interesting to note that GCC actually retains unused static constants by default. fno-keep-static-consts is used to remove unused static constants in GCC. https://reviews.llvm.org/D40925 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
