This is necessary because both globals belong to different COMDAT groups and COMDATs, at the object file level, are represented by sections. -Note that certain IR constructs like global variables and functions may create -COMDATs in the object file in addition to any which are specified using COMDAT -IR. This arises, for example, when a global variable has linkonce_odr linkage. +Note that certain IR constructs like global variables and functions may +create COMDATs in the object file in addition to any which are specified using +COMDAT IR.
