-// Tests that the llvm.compiler.used symbol, which is used to implement static
-// device globals, is removed at some point in compilation. For SPIR-V this
-// symbol is removed at sycl-post-link and for NVPTX/AMDGCN it is removed at
-// lowering.
-//
-// It also checks that the symbol can be found in an object file for a given
-// triple, thus validating that `llvm-strings` can successfully be used to
-// check for the presence of the symbol.
