Lowering of GlobalOp ignores attributes

[AdUhTkJm]

Consider the following global variable:

cir.global @x = #cir.const_struct<{
  #cir.int<1> : !s32i,
}> : !ty_anon_struct {section = ".abc"}

On lowering, the {section = ".abc"} attribute is ignored. That is because in LoweringToLLVM.cpp, the function CIRToLLVMGlobalOpLowering::matchAndRewrite can exit prematurely before the variable attributes is used at the end of the function.

I'm not sure how to fix it -- I tried removing those early returns, but it won't work and results in a crash.

The amount of if arms here is a bit annoying, ideally it should be broken / refactored into multiple functions to be a bit more clean.

In this example, sounds like you want to also set up the attributes right after createRegionInitializedLLVMGlobalOp but before the return.

In a PR that does that, please add the call to setup the attributes right before all returns of success (so we don't run into this again with other types of constants).

That's expected, the early returns have already setup the LLVM global in some form, doing it twice is probably leading to the crash.
