--- Comment #7 from David Edelsohn <dje at gcc dot gnu.org> --- As we discussed on IRC symtab_node::exists (decl) && symtab_node::get (decl)->alias seems better because that function does not need to create the summary for its internal use. The function should not encode the section info on an alias because that creates conflicting AIX XCOFF encodings. Thanks!
