Getting a static const char * assembled in place?

[Lally Singh <death_to_nt at mac dot com>]

Hi, I'm tinkering with some experiments in type introspection, and part 
of that's generating a 'name' member for types, methods, members, etc.

The code I've written (ends up in cc1plus, called from 
cp/pt.c:instantiate_class_template), generates the VAR_DECL for a 
static const char * member named 'name.'  However, any reference to it 
ends up generating assembly that refers to it as an external entity 
(which won't be found).  I'd like it to just assemble to a 
locally-defined string.  Here's an example to clarify:

For code:
struct foo {
 static const char * const s = "foobar";
        char *f;
};

int main() {
        int printf(const char *, ...) throw ();
        return printf("%s-%s", foo::s, 
std::type_description<foo>::name);
}

It currently generates:

.data
.cstring
        .align 2
LC0:
        .ascii "%s-%s\0"
        .align 2
LC1:
        .ascii "foobar\0"
.text
        .align 2
        .globl _main
_main:
LFB2:
        lis r3,ha16(__ZNSt16type_descriptionI3fooE4nameE)
        lis r2,ha16(LC0)
        lwz r5,lo16(__ZNSt16type_descriptionI3fooE4nameE)(r3)
        la r3,lo16(LC0)(r2)
        lis r2,ha16(LC1)
        la r4,lo16(LC1)(r2)
        b __Z6printfPKcz
LFE2:
...

I'd like type_description<foo>::name to generate similar asm to foo::s. 
 My extension generates a VAR_DECL for type_description<foo>, but it 
apparently isn't right, despite it looking quite similar to the 
VAR_DECL for foo::s.  I've got the initial value in as well.  Yeah, I 
had to force cp/decl.c:check_static_variable_definition to always 
return 0 to get this to work, but it'll be normal when I'm finished (I 
just needed foo::s to compile).

So, finally, my question:  where's the decision made how to refer to 
the strings (inline like foo::s or externally like 
type_description<foo>::name) in the generated asm?  I just need an idea 
where to look for how the trees are interpreted.
