//
// Currently this file implements partial alias canonicalization, to
// flatten chains of aliases (also done by GlobalOpt, but not on for
// O0 compiles). E.g.
//  @a = alias i8, i8 *@b
//  @b = alias i8, i8 *@g
//
// will be converted to:
//  @a = alias i8, i8 *@g  <-- @a is now an alias to base object @g
//  @b = alias i8, i8 *@g
//
// Eventually this file will implement full alias canonicalation, so that
// all aliasees are private anonymous values. E.g.
//  @a = alias i8, i8 *@g
//  @g = global i8 0
//
// will be converted to:
//  @0 = private global
//  @a = alias i8, i8* @0
//  @g = alias i8, i8* @0
//
// This simplifies optimization and ThinLTO linking of the original symbols.
