10 // This transform is designed to eliminate unreachable internal globals from the
11 // program. It uses an aggressive algorithm, searching out globals that are
12 // known to be alive. After it finds all of the globals which are needed, it
13 // deletes whatever is left over. This allows it to delete recursive chunks of
14 // the program which are unreachable.
