 // Microsoft's documentation
 // (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bxwfs976.aspx; visited April
 // 2017) says that /opt:icf folds both functions and read-only data.
 // Despite that, the MSVC linker folds only functions. We found
 // a few instances of programs that are not safe for data merging.
-// Therefore, we merge only functions just like the MSVC tool. However, we merge
-// identical .xdata sections, because the address of unwind information is
-// insignificant to the user program and the Visual C++ linker does this.
+// Therefore, we merge only functions just like the MSVC tool. However, we also
+// merge read-only sections in a couple of cases where the address of the
+// section is insignificant to the user program and the behaviour matches that
+// of the Visual C++ linker.
