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