            Bug ID: 36310
           Summary: Safe -icf-data
           Product: lld
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: ELF
          Assignee: unassignedb...@nondot.org

Merging data sections by ICF is not usually safe because it breaks an
assumption pointer equality. However, section A is a substring of section B,
and if A's starting position in B is not zero, we can merge the two without
breaking the pointer equality. I don't know how much we can save with it, but
it may worth investigating.
