     10 // This transform is designed to eliminate unreachable internal globals from the
     11 // program.  It uses an aggressive algorithm, searching out globals that are
     12 // known to be alive.  After it finds all of the globals which are needed, it
     13 // deletes whatever is left over.  This allows it to delete recursive chunks of
     14 // the program which are unreachable.
