9 // Currently this file implements partial alias canonicalization, to
10 // flatten chains of aliases (also done by GlobalOpt, but not on for
12 // @a = alias i8, i8 *@b
13 // @b = alias i8, i8 *@g
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
19 // Eventually this file will implement full alias canonicalation, so that
20 // all aliasees are private anonymous values. E.g.
21 // @a = alias i8, i8 *@g
24 // will be converted to:
25 // @0 = private global
26 // @a = alias i8, i8* @0
27 // @g = alias i8, i8* @0
29 // This simplifies optimization and ThinLTO linking of the original symbols.
