10 // This file defines the interface to a pass that merges duplicate global
11 // constants together into a single constant that is shared.  This is useful
12 // because some passes (ie TraceValues) insert a lot of string constants into
13 // the program, regardless of whether or not an existing string is available.
14 //
15 // Algorithm: ConstantMerge is designed to build up a map of available constants
16 // and eliminate duplicates when it is initialized.
