+
+// Identical Code Folding Algorithm
+// ----------------------------------
+// Detecting identical functions is done here and the basic algorithm
+// is as follows. A checksum is computed on each .text section using
+// its contents and relocations. If the symbol name corresponding to
+// a relocation is known it is used to compute the checksum. If the
+// symbol name is not known the stringified name of the object and the
+// section number pointed to by the relocation is used. The checksums
+// are stored as keys in a hash map and a section is identical to some
+// other section if its checksum is already present in the hash map.
+// Checksum collisions are handled by using a multimap and explicitly
+// checking the contents when two sections have the same checksum.
+//
+// However, two functions A and B with identical text but with
+// relocations pointing to different .text sections can be identical if
+// the corresponding .text sections to which their relocations point to
+// turn out to be identical. Hence, this checksumming process must be
+// done repeatedly until convergence is obtained. Here is an example for
+// the following case :
+//
+// int funcA () int funcB ()
+// { {
+// return foo(); return goo();
+// } }
+//
+// The functions funcA and funcB are identical if functions foo() and
+// goo() are identical.
+//
+// Hence, as described above, we repeatedly do the checksumming,
+// assigning identical functions to the same group, until convergence is
+// obtained. Now, we have two different ways to do this depending on how
+// we initialize.
+//
+// Algorithm I :
+// -----------
+// We can start with marking all functions as different and repeatedly do
+// the checksumming. This has the advantage that we do not need to wait
+// for convergence. We can stop at any point and correctness will be
+// guaranteed although not all cases would have been found. However, this
+// has a problem that some cases can never be found even if it is run until
+// convergence. Here is an example with mutually recursive functions :
+//
+// int funcA (int a) int funcB (int a)
+// { {
+// if (a == 1) if (a == 1)
+// return 1; return 1;
+// return 1 + funcB(a - 1); return 1 + funcA(a - 1);
+// } }
+//
+// In this example funcA and funcB are identical and one of them could be
+// folded into the other. However, if we start with assuming that funcA
+// and funcB are not identical, the algorithm, even after it is run to
+// convergence, cannot detect that they are identical. It should be noted
+// that even if the functions were self-recursive, Algorithm I cannot catch
+// that they are identical, at least as is.
+//
+// Algorithm II :
+// ------------
+// Here we start with marking all functions as identical and then repeat
+// the checksumming until convergence. This can detect the above case
+// mentioned above. It can detect all cases that Algorithm I can and more.
+// However, the caveat is that it has to be run to convergence. It cannot
+// be stopped arbitrarily like Algorithm I as correctness cannot be
+// guaranteed. Algorithm II is not implemented.
+//
+// Algorithm I is used because experiments show that about three
+// iterations are more than enough to achieve convergence. Algorithm I can
+// handle recursive calls if it is changed to use a special common symbol
+// for recursive relocs. This seems to be the most common case that
+// Algorithm I could not catch as is. Mutually recursive calls are not
+// frequent and Algorithm I wins because of its ability to be stopped
+// arbitrarily.
+//
+// Caveat with using function pointers :
+// ------------------------------------
+//
+// Programs using function pointer comparisons/checks should use function
+// folding with caution as the result of such comparisons could be different
+// when folding takes place. This could lead to unexpected run-time
+// behaviour.
+//
+//
+// How to run : --icf
+// Optional parameters : --icf-iterations <num> --print-icf-sections
+//
+// Performance : Less than 20 % link-time overhead on industry strength
+// applications. Up to 6 % text size reductions.
