I tried this yesterday, added the 4th argument to .DEFERRED_INIT as:

    1st argument: SIZE of the DECL;
    2nd argument: INIT_TYPE;
    3rd argument: IS_VLA, 0 NO, 1 YES;
+   4th argument: The NAME for the DECL;
 
-   as LHS = DEFERRED_INIT (SIZE of the DECL, INIT_TYPE, IS_VLA)
+   as LHS = DEFERRED_INIT (SIZE of the DECL, INIT_TYPE, IS_VLA, NAME)

+  tree name_node
+    = build_string_literal (IDENTIFIER_LENGTH (DECL_NAME (decl)),
+                           IDENTIFIER_POINTER (DECL_NAME (decl)));
 
   tree call = build_call_expr_internal_loc (UNKNOWN_LOCATION, 
IFN_DEFERRED_INIT,
-                                           TREE_TYPE (decl), 3,
+                                           TREE_TYPE (decl), 4,
                                            decl_size, init_type_node,
-                                           is_vla_node);
+                                           is_vla_node, name_node);


And got the following IR in .uninit1 dump:


….

  _1 = .DEFERRED_INIT (4, 2, 0, &"alt_reloc"[0]);
  if (_1 != 0)
….


My questions:

1. Is “build_string_literal” the correct utility routine to use for this new 
argument? 
2. Will Such string literal nodes have potential other impact?
