[PATCH] D43264: [WebAssembly] Add explicit symbol table

> And an initializer! That's what distinguishes a defined global from an imported/undefined one, in the same way that the initializer (bss or data section) does for a data symbol, or the function body does for a function symbol.

An initializer can just be a member of a symbol, no?

Global variables look very similar to imported functions. There's no "body" of imported symbols, and therefore there's no chunk that represents imported function body, even though imported symbols are "defined" (as opposed to "undefined" symbols that have to be resolved until the end of linking). Symbols doesn't have to have chunks, and that's not actually odd.
