POD value that classifies the properties of a section.
Declared in <llvm/MC/SectionKind.h>
class SectionKind;A section is classified into the deepest possible classification, and then the target maps them onto their sections based on what capabilities they have.
The comments below describe these as if they were an inheritance hierarchy in order to explain the predicates below.
| Name | Description |

isMergeableConst4 | Return true if this is a 4-byte mergeable constant section kind. |
isMergeableConst8 | Return true if this is an 8-byte mergeable constant section kind. |
isMetadata | Return true if this is a metadata section kind. |
isReadOnly | Return true if this is a read-only section kind (including mergeable). |
isReadOnlyWithRel | Return true if this is read-only data that requires dynamic relocations. |
isText | Return true if this is a text or execute-only section kind. |
isThreadBSS | Return true if this is a thread-local BSS section kind. |
isThreadBSSLocal | Return true if this is a local-linkage thread-local BSS section kind. |
isThreadData | Return true if this is a thread-local data section kind. |
isThreadLocal | Return true if this is a thread-local section kind. |
isWriteable | Return true if this is a writable section kind (TLS or global). |
