The name conflicts are introduced as we link all TUs into a single > module at IR level. The frontend should not be changed to support that. I am not sure if ISA level linking would help for this. My understanding is that the linker will rename the internal symbols having the same name from different objects. It does not matter if it is llvm-link or native linker. Once they are renamed we can no longer find them by name. I don't see a reason why we cannot support accessing static device variable in FE. We have requests for this feature from different users.
