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