An object file is seen +/// as a set of Atoms with References to other Atoms. Each Atom is a node +/// and each Reference is an edge. +/// +/// For example if a function contains a call site to "malloc" 40 bytes into +/// the Atom, then the function Atom will have a Reference of: offsetInAtom=40, +/// kind=callsite, target=malloc, addend=0. +/// +/// Besides supporting traditional "relocations", References are also used +/// grouping atoms (group comdat), forcing layout (one atom must follow +/// another), marking data-in-code (jump tables or ARM constants), etc. +/// +/// The "kind" of a reference is a tuple of <namespace, arch, value>. This +/// enable us to re-use existing relocation types definded for various +/// file formats and architectures.
