While moving FIELD_DECL to it's own substruct, the following questions
have come up. I figured one of you might know:
1. Do we need DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME on FIELD_DECL? I can't think of a
place where we would actually try to *output* a FIELD_DECL directly, but
maybe i've missed something. I ask because the C frontend tests
decl_assembler_name on field decl, but never sets it on them.
Related to this:
2. Do we allow setting the section of a FIELD_DECL, so that
DECL_SECTION_NAME on FIELD_DECL is necessary?
We should need neither DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME nor DECL_SECTION_NAME. If we
do, that's a bug in whatever is using them -- but I don't know how hard
it would be to fix. In GCC, things that look like fields, but are
really variables, like C++ static data members or anonymous union
members, should be represented as VAR_DECLs.
