How does one traverse all the global decls

How does one traverse all the global decls

[Gary Oblock]

I'm trying to do some analysis code for an optimization
that involves my code looking at all the declarations and
types there of during the link time optimizations.

Note, doing this for the local variables seems to be trivial
because of FOR_EACH_LOCAL_DECL and there are also
obvious ways of getting at the type information once I have
a decl. However,  I can't seem to find any similar way of
getting at the global level decls.

I'd appreciate your help on this.

Thanks,

Gary Oblock

Look at FOR_EACH_VARIABLE defined in cgraph.h (because symtab.h does not
exist) and it's various uses throughout the compiler.

There's also IPA-REFs so you can iterate over references of global
variables (not sure if there's a nice FOR_EACH interface for that).

Thanks, even though this wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. :-)
