[Bug middle-end/29299] [4.2 Regresion] gcc "used" attribute has no effect on local-scope static variables

["rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

------- Comment #4 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2006-10-09 13:04 -------
We have

bool
decide_is_variable_needed (struct cgraph_varpool_node *node, tree decl)
{
  /* If the user told us it is used, then it must be so.  */
  if (node->externally_visible || node->force_output)
    return true;
  if (!flag_unit_at_a_time
      && lookup_attribute ("used", DECL_ATTRIBUTES (decl)))
    return true;

with "used" set on bar...

Now, the handler for attribute "used" sets DECL_PRESERVE_P on the decl, so
we might as well check that.
