Thanks for the help. I just want to elaborate just a bit.
So if I understand it correctly, only the function in my case are
gimplified or the starting point.
Lets say I initialised classVariable 10 outside a function.
tree setVariable = build2(INIT_EXPR, void_type_node,
classVariableDecl, build_int_cst_type(integer_type_node, 10));
assume setVariable ends up in the statement list of TestClass correctly.
Does it means that gcc will follow the chain from testFunc to
TestClass (DECL_CONTEXT(testFunc) = TestClass) and then follows the
stament list of TestClass ending up initialising classVariable by only
submitting testFunc to gimple?
Regards,
André
