Sure. So I would point you to the IPA ICF pass, which makes merging
of variables in WPA phase of LTO. Let's take a look at:
ipa-icf.c:1839 (sem_variable::equals) where
we do:
if (DECL_INITIAL (decl) == error_mark_node && in_lto_p)
dyn_cast <varpool_node *>(node)->get_constructor ();
That's the way how load DECL_INITIAL of variables.
Does it help you?

So Martin, let me get this straight, all of the initialization information
can be fetched here? I ask this because I was under the impression that
some of it was deleted and could not be recovered. The worst case scenario
for my optimization (making it illegal) is if the user specified an
initialization
and the initialization disappeared without leaving a trace in the IR that it
ever
existed.
Many thanks,
Gary
