     10 // This file defines the interface to a pass that merges duplicate global
     11 // constants together into a single constant that is shared.  This is useful
     12 // because some passes (ie TraceValues) insert a lot of string constants into
     13 // the program, regardless of whether or not an existing string is available.
     14 //
     15 // Algorithm: ConstantMerge is designed to build up a map of available constants
     16 // and eliminate duplicates when it is initialized.
