//! What a load from an object nothing can write to reads, which is what the object was
//! initialized to.
//!
//! A `const` object with static storage duration and an initializer is bytes the program cannot
//! change, so a load from one at an offset the compiler knows has an answer before the program
//! runs. Working it out is the oldest optimization there is and rucc did not have it:
//! `crate::load` forwards a load from a store earlier in the same block, and nothing anywhere
//! looked at what a global was initialized to, so a `const` table read at a constant index kept
//! its load and kept the arithmetic around it. That is issue 1358.
//!
//! # Where the image comes from
//!
//! A global's image lives on the module and a pass is handed one function, which is the problem
//! `crate::extents` has and solves by running once over the module before the pipeline starts.
//! That way out is wrong here, and finding out why is most of what this file is.
//!
//! What the frontend hands over for `t[2]` is not an offset. It is the index sign extended, a
//! multiply by the element size, and a `ptr_add` of the product, because the lowering walk writes
//! a subscript the way C defines one and leaves the arithmetic to the pipeline. So a step that ran
//! before the pipeline would read an address it could not evaluate and fold nothing at all, on
//! every array and every string in the program. `crate::extents` accepts exactly this cost for the
//! same reason, and can, because what it loses is a bounds check it did not discharge. What is
//! lost here is the whole optimization.
//!
//! So this is a pass, and the module's images reach it the way the machine does, on
//! [`crate::Analyses`]. `crate::machine` argues that at length and the argument is the same one:
//! the analysis cache is the one thing every pass is handed besides the function and its fuel, so
//! a fact about the module that a pass needs goes there rather than onto a fourth parameter of
//! every `run`. The pipeline builds one [`Images`] for the module and each function's cache holds
//! a counted reference to it.
//!
//! The difference from the machine is that this is a table rather than two words, so the pipeline
//! builds it only when a level runs this pass, and what it copies out of the module is the image
//! of the globals that are read only and nothing else. A `const` table of a megabyte is copied
//! once per compilation, which is the price of a pass being handed a function.
//!
//! # Where it runs
//!
//! With a `fold` on each side of it, at every level that optimizes and at none that does not.
//!
//! The one ahead is what turns the subscript arithmetic above into the offset this reads, so
//! without it this answers nothing. The one behind is the mirror of that, and it is the half that
//! is easy to leave out. What this writes is a constant where a load stood, and standing on top of
//! it is whatever the program did with the value: `(int) one != 1` on a `const double` is a
//! conversion and a comparison, and folding those is what turns the branch into a branch the
//! control flow passes can take out. Nothing later in the list arrives in time, because the branch
//! passes read the condition and a condition still spelled as a conversion of a constant is a
//! branch they leave standing. That is the difference between a program that links and one that
//! does not, which is what `gcc.c-torture/execute/20030216-1.c` is.
//!
//! # Which globals are believed
//!
//! The four conditions `crate::extents` sets, which is that module's `vouched`, and one more.
//! The extra one is that writing through a pointer to the object is undefined, which is
//! `Global::constant` and is what puts it in `.rodata`. A global that is not read only can be
//! written by anything holding its address, including code in another translation unit, and this
//! is not looking for the writes.
//!
//! Nothing here asks whether the object is reachable or whether its address is taken, because the
//! question is what the bytes are rather than who else can see them. An exported `const` table
//! folds for its own module and stays in the output for everybody else's.
//!
//! # What the image answers
//!
//! A run of zero bytes answers zero. A scalar answers the value it holds, when the access starts
//! where the scalar does and is exactly as wide, because that is the case where no question of
//! byte order arises: the image keeps a scalar as a value, and which byte of it comes first is
//! decided when the object file is written rather than here. Literal bytes answer the number they
//! spell in the order the datalayout puts them, which is where the byte order does have to be
//! asked about and is the only place it is.
//!
//! The address of another symbol answers nothing, because a relocation has no value until the
//! link. Neither does an access that crosses from one piece of the image into the next, since
//! bytes spanning two of them are not a scalar either one holds, and neither does a `volatile`
//! access or an atomic one, whose whole point is that the access happens.
