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

[Nicholas Wilson via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

ncw added a comment.

Aliasing works because of InputSection/InputChunk, which allows multiple symbols to reference the same chunk of memory, without having the section or body duplicated in the output. If you get rid of InputGlobal, you'll have aliasing issues, because the output will duplicate the global, causing it to be allocated storage twice - just like if a data section aliased by two symbols would chew up double the RAM if the symbols weren't able to share the InputSection. Plus the semantics would be wrong because writes to one alias should be visible by reads to the other.
