 //
-// This file contains platform-independent functions to process relocations.
-// I'll describe the overview of this file here.
+// This file implements the core relocation processing logic. It analyzes
+// relocations and determines what auxiliary data structures (GOT, PLT, copy
+// relocations) need to be created during linking.
 //
-// Simple relocations are easy to handle for the linker. For example,
-// for R_X86_64_PC64 relocs, the linker just has to fix up locations
-// with the relative offsets to the target symbols. It would just be
-// reading records from relocation sections and applying them to output.
+// The main entry point is scanRelocations<ELFT>(), which calls scanSection()
+// to process all relocations within an input section. For each relocation,
+// scan() analyzes the type and target, and determines whether a synthetic
+// section entry or dynamic relocation is needed.
 //
-// But not all relocations are that easy to handle. For example, for
-// R_386_GOTOFF relocs, the linker has to create new GOT entries for
-// symbols if they don't exist, and fix up locations with GOT entry
-// offsets from the beginning of GOT section. So there is more than
-// fixing addresses in relocation processing.
+// Note: This file analyzes what needs to be done but doesn't apply the
+// actual relocations - that happens later in InputSection::writeTo().
+// Instead, it populates Relocation objects in InputSectionBase::relocations
+// and creates necessary synthetic sections (GOT, PLT, etc.).
 //
-// ELF defines a large number of complex relocations.
-//
-// The functions in this file analyze relocations and do whatever needs
-// to be done. It includes, but not limited to, the following.
-//
-//  - create GOT/PLT entries
-//  - create new relocations in .dynsym to let the dynamic linker resolve
-//    them at runtime (since ELF supports dynamic linking, not all
-//    relocations can be resolved at link-time)
-//  - create COPY relocs and reserve space in .bss
-//  - replace expensive relocs (in terms of runtime cost) with cheap ones
-//  - error out infeasible combinations such as PIC and non-relative relocs
-//
-// Note that the functions in this file don't actually apply relocations
-// because it doesn't know about the output file nor the output file buffer.
-// It instead stores Relocation objects to InputSection's Relocations
-// vector to let it apply later in InputSection::writeTo.
+// In addition, this file implements the core Thunk creation logic, called
+// during finalizeAddressDependentContent().
