10// This file contains the declaration of the GlobalVariable class, which
11// represents a single global variable (or constant) in the VM.
12//
13// Global variables are constant pointers that refer to hunks of space that are
14// allocated by either the VM, or by the linker in a static compiler.  A global
15// variable may have an initial value, which is copied into the executables .data
16// area.  Global Constants are required to have initializers.
