Chris Lattner a01eda3091 * Both Method & GlobalVariable now subclass GlobalValue
* ConstPoolPointerReference now represents a pointer to a GlobalValue
* Methods name references are now explicit pointers to methods
* Rename Value::GlobalVal to Value::GlobalVariableVal to avoid confusion

//===-- llvm/Global.h - Class to represent a global variable -----*- C++ -*--=//
//
// 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.
