9 // Currently this file implements partial alias canonicalization, to
10 // flatten chains of aliases (also done by GlobalOpt, but not on for
11 // O0 compiles). E.g.
12 //  @a = alias i8, i8 *@b
13 //  @b = alias i8, i8 *@g
14 //
15 // will be converted to:
16 //  @a = alias i8, i8 *@g  <-- @a is now an alias to base object @g
17 //  @b = alias i8, i8 *@g
18 //
19 // Eventually this file will implement full alias canonicalization, so that
20 // all aliasees are private anonymous values. E.g.
21 //  @a = alias i8, i8 *@g
22 //  @g = global i8 0
23 //
24 // will be converted to:
25 //  @0 = private global
26 //  @a = alias i8, i8* @0
27 //  @g = alias i8, i8* @0
28 //
29 // This simplifies optimization and ThinLTO linking of the original symbols.
