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