// This file implements --gc-sections, which is a feature to remove unused
// sections from output. Unused sections are sections that are not reachable
// from known GC-root symbols or sections. Naturally the feature is
// implemented as a mark-sweep garbage collector.
//
// Here's how it works. Each InputSectionBase has a "Live" bit. The bit is off
// by default. Starting with GC-root symbols or sections, markLive function
// defined in this file visits all reachable sections to set their Live
// bits. Writer will then ignore sections whose Live bits are off, so that
// such sections are not included into output.
