            Bug ID: 36286
           Summary: Implement constant string merging
           Product: lld
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: COFF
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: ruiu at google.com
                CC: llvm-bugs at lists.llvm.org

We should implement the constant string merging for the COFF version of lld,
just like we did for ELF, to reduce output size.

Unlike ELF, COFF sections that contain constant strings don't have any special
section type, but we can identify them by looking at their symbol name. So it's
doable.
