1//! The module level of the walk: what a translation unit's declarations become.
2//!
3//! Design: `spec/08-ir.md` section 8.9.
4//!
5//! One typed tree becomes one [`Module`]. A file-scope object becomes a global with an image
6//! built from its initializer, a function becomes a [`Func`] whose body is built by
7//! [`body`](mod@crate::body), and a string literal becomes an unnamed constant global that
8//! whatever mentioned it points at.
9//!
10//! # What an image is
11//!
12//! An initializer arrives here already flattened: one entry per scalar that is stored, each
13//! with the byte offset it goes at, with every designator and every nested brace already
14//! resolved. So building the image is a walk over the entries in offset order, filling the gaps
15//! between them with zeros, and the only thing that has to be worked out per entry is whether
16//! the value is a number, a run of bytes from a string literal, or the address of something the
17//! linker has to place.
18//!
19//! # Names
20//!
21//! An object with linkage is known by the name it was written with, and there is nothing to
22//! invent. A `static` inside a function has no linkage and still needs a name in the object
23//! file, so it gets `name.N`, which is what gcc does and is why two functions may each have a
24//! `static int count;` without colliding. A string literal has no name at all and gets
25//! `.Lstr.N`, whose leading dot keeps it out of the symbol table on every target that has the
26//! convention.
