// This class is used to manage COPY relocations.  We try to avoid
// them when possible.  A COPY relocation may be required when an
// executable refers to a variable defined in a shared library.  COPY
// relocations are problematic because they tie the executable to the
// exact size of the variable in the shared library.  We can avoid
// them if all the references to the variable are in a writeable
// section.  In that case we can simply use dynamic relocations.
// However, when scanning relocs, we don't know when we see the
// relocation whether we will be forced to use a COPY relocation or
// not.  So we have to save the relocation during the reloc scanning,
// and then emit it as a dynamic relocation if necessary.  This class
// implements that.  It is used by the target specific code.

// The template parameter SH_TYPE is the type of the reloc section to
// be used for COPY relocs: elfcpp::SHT_REL or elfcpp::SHT_RELA.
