Thank you for the review. I have attached the test case.

/* This was compiled from a trivial program just to test whether GDB
   will add const variable to partial symbol.

  static const int const_var = 6;

  int main(){
          return 0;
  }

  Then it was compiled with:
	
	gcc -g -O1
  
  We could see the DIE of 'const_var' is as following:
  <1><25>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_variable)
     <26>   DW_AT_name        : var
     <2a>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 1
     <2b>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 1
     <2c>   DW_AT_type        : <0x31>
     <30>   DW_AT_const_value : 3

  We need add it to partial symbol table.
