+//===-- GlobalMerge.cpp - Internal globals merging -----------------------===//

+//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+// This pass merges globals with internal linkage into one. This way all the
+// globals which were merged into a biggest one can be addressed using offsets
+// from the same base pointer (no need for separate base pointer for each of the
+// global). Such a transformation can significantly reduce the register pressure
+// when many globals are involved.
+//
+// For example, consider the code which touches several global variables at
+// once:
+//
+// static int foo[N], bar[N], baz[N];
+//
+// for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
+// foo[i] = bar[i] * baz[i];
+// }
+//
+// On ARM the addresses of 3 arrays should be kept in the registers, thus
+// this code has quite large register pressure (loop body):
+//
+// ldr r1, [r5], #4
+// ldr r2, [r6], #4
+// mul r1, r2, r1
+// str r1, [r0], #4
+//
+// Pass converts the code to something like:
+//
+// static struct {
+// int foo[N];
+// int bar[N];
+// int baz[N];
+// } merged;
+//
+// for (i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
+// merged.foo[i] = merged.bar[i] * merged.baz[i];
+// }
+//
+// and in ARM code this becomes:
+//
+// ldr r0, [r5, #40]
+// ldr r1, [r5, #80]
+// mul r0, r1, r0
+// str r0, [r5], #4
+//
+// note that we saved 2 registers here almostly "for free".
