// ICF is short for Identical Code Folding. That is a size optimization to
// identify and merge two or more read-only sections (typically functions)
// that happened to have the same contents. It usually reduces output size
// by a few percent.
//
// On Windows, ICF is enabled by default.
//
// See ELF/ICF.cpp for the details about the algortihm.
