//
// Identical Code Folding is a feature to merge sections not by name (which
// is regular comdat handling) but by contents. If two non-writable sections
// have the same data, relocations, attributes, etc., then the two
// are considered identical and merged by the linker. This optimization
// makes outputs smaller.
//
// ICF is theoretically a problem of reducing graphs by merging as many
// identical subgraphs as possible if we consider sections as vertices and
// relocations as edges. It may sound simple, but it is a bit more
// complicated than you might think. The order of processing sections
// matters because merging two sections can make other sections, whose
// relocations now point to the same section, mergeable. Graphs may contain
// cycles. We need a sophisticated algorithm to do this properly and
// efficiently.
//
// What we do in this file is this. We split sections into groups. Sections
// in the same group are considered identical.
//
// We begin by optimistically putting all sections into a single equivalence
// class. Then we apply a series of checks that split this initial
// equivalence class into more and more refined equivalence classes based on
// the properties by which a section can be distinguished.
//
// We begin by checking that the section contents and flags are the
// same. This only needs to be done once since these properties don't depend
// on the current equivalence class assignment.
//
// Then we split the equivalence classes based on checking that their
// relocations are the same, where relocation targets are compared by their
// equivalence class, not the concrete section. This may need to be done
// multiple times because as the equivalence classes are refined, two
// sections that had a relocation target in the same equivalence class may
// now target different equivalence classes, and hence these two sections
// must be put in different equivalence classes (whereas in the previous
// iteration they were not since the relocation target was the same.)
//
// Our algorithm is smart enough to merge the following mutually-recursive
// functions.
//
//   void foo() { bar(); }
//   void bar() { foo(); }
//
// This algorithm is so-called "optimistic" algorithm described in
// http://research.google.com/pubs/pub36912.html. (Note that what GNU
// gold implemented is different from the optimistic algorithm.)
