// Identical COMDAT Folding is a feature to merge COMDAT sections not by
// name (which is regular COMDAT handling) but by contents. If two COMDAT
// 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. This may be a bit more complicated problem than you
// might think. The order of processing sections matters since merging two
// sections can make other sections, whose relocations now point to the same
// section, mergeable. Graphs may contain cycles, which is common in COFF.
// 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.
//
// First, all sections are grouped by their "constant" values. Constant
// values are values that are never changed by ICF, such as section contents,
// section name, number of relocations, type and offset of each relocation,
// etc. Because we do not care about some relocation targets in this step,
// two sections in the same group may not be identical, but at least two
// sections in different groups can never be identical.
//
// Then, we try to split each group by relocation targets. Relocations are
// considered identical if and only if the relocation targets are in the
// same group. Splitting a group may make more groups to be splittable,
// because two relocations that were previously considered identical might
// now point to different groups. We repeat this step until the convergence
// is obtained.
//
// This algorithm is so-called "optimistic" algorithm described in
// http://research.google.com/pubs/pub36912.html.
