// 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".
