Summary:
We supported globals as sources before, but we did so by allowing ClangTrace etc. to match against any access path in the footprint of the trace.
This is very powerful/flexible, but it's ultimately not a good idea because it leads to traces that are hard to read.
This is because a footprint source doesn't have any information about its provenance: we might know that the value came from a global, but we don't know where the read occurred.
The mechanism for handling procedure calls as sources already knows how to solve this problem.
This diff implements globals as sources as a special case of procedure call sources instead.
This will give us much nicer traces with full provenance of the read from the global.
