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.
