Hi this patch takes care of gcov. There are two oddities. First that gcov uses langhook to produce new records while asan gets around with make_node. I think both are middle-end types and in the direction of separating front-ends and middle-ends better the langhooks are not desirable.
The TYPE_STUB_DECL is produced by finish_builtin_struct. This is function used just few times but I am not sure if we don't want debug info on some of the builtins, so I have added extra parameter. config/darwin.c: finish_builtin_struct (cfstring_type_node, "__builtin_CFString", config/i386/i386.c: finish_builtin_struct (type, "__processor_model", field_chain, NULL_TREE); coverage.c: finish_builtin_struct (ctr_info, "__gcov_ctr_info", fields, NULL_TREE, true); coverage.c: finish_builtin_struct (type, "__gcov_fn_info", fields, NULL_TREE, true); coverage.c: finish_builtin_struct (type, "__gcov_info", fields, NULL_TREE, true); cp/decl.c: finish_builtin_struct (t, "__ptrmemfunc_type", fields, ptr_type_node); cp/rtti.c: finish_builtin_struct (pseudo_type, pseudo_name, fields, NULL_TREE); hsa-brig.c: finish_builtin_struct (variable_info_type, "__hsa_variable_info", id_f2, hsa-brig.c: finish_builtin_struct (kernel_info_type, "__hsa_kernel_info", id_f5, hsa-brig.c: finish_builtin_struct (hsa_image_desc_type, "__hsa_image_desc", id_f5, hsa-gen.c: finish_builtin_struct (*hsa_kernel_dispatch_type, "__hsa_kernel_dispatch", objc/objc-act.c: /* NB: The finish_builtin_struct() routine expects FIELD_DECLs in objc/objc-act.c: finish_builtin_struct (type, "__builtin_ObjCString", omp-expand.c: finish_builtin_struct (grid_attr_trees->kernel_launch_attributes_type, stor-layout.c:finish_builtin_struct (tree type, const char *name, tree fields, stor-layout.h:extern void finish_builtin_struct (tree, const char *, tree, tree, Perhaps we could make them all to just use identifier_node but I am honestly not sure :) Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, OK?
