CIL promotes
staticlocal variables to globals, making them indistinguishable from true globals. This adds agoblint_cil_pulledupattribute to such variables so consumers (e.g. goblint analyzer) can identify them.Changes
src/frontc/cabs2cil.ml: In thesto = Static && !makeStaticGlobalbranch where local statics are promoted to globals, stamp the resultingvarinfowithAttr("goblint_cil_pulledup", [])— mirrors the existinggoblint_cil_nestedpattern.Example
Given:
The resulting global
varinfoforcounterwill carry__attribute__((goblint_cil_pulledup)), allowing downstream tools to distinguish it from a genuinely file-scoped global.
