> Hi.
>=20
> I made this patch to set an arbitrary value to a global variable.
>=20
> This patch suffers from the same issue as inline assembly
> (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D100380), i.e. it
> segfaults if the `rvalue` is created after the global variable.
> It seems to be a design issue so I'm not sure what would be the fix
> for
> it and having it fixed would allow me to test this new function much
> more and see if things are missing (i.e. it might require a way to
> create a constant struct).
> See the link above for an explanation of this issue.

> Thanks for the review.
