22 /* This isn't quite a "constant" pool. Some of the values may get
23 adjusted at run time, e.g., for symbolic relocations when shared
24 libraries are in use. It's more of a "literal" pool.
26 On the Alpha, this should be used for .lita and .lit8. (Is there
27 ever a .lit4?) On the MIPS, it could be used for .lit4 as well.
29 The expressions passed here should contain either constants or symbols,
30 not a combination of both. Typically, the constant pool is accessed
31 with some sort of GP register, so the size of the pool must be kept down
32 if possible. The exception is section offsets -- if you're storing a
33 pointer to the start of .data, for example, and your machine provides
34 for 16-bit signed addends, you might want to store .data+32K, so that
35 you can access all of the first 64K of .data with the one pointer.
37 This isn't a requirement, just a guideline that can help keep .o file
