They behave like global variables in the kernel code but never initialized. Currently no targets are able to initialize them and it is users' responsibility to initialize them explicitly. Giving them an initial value will cause error in some backends since they cannot handle them, therefore put undef as initializer. https://reviews.llvm.org/D44985 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
