/**
 * ShortSegmentManager
 *
 * Since MIPS is limited to 32 bits per instruction, loading data that's further away than 16 bits
 * takes several instructions. Thus, small global data (which is likely to be accessed a lot from
 * multiple locations) is often put into a GP-relative area (GP standing for the global pointer register)
 * in MIPS processors. This class manages these segments of small global data, and is used by the
 * member functions of MIPSDLObject, which query in information from this manager in order to deal with
 * this segment during the loading/unloading of plugins.
 *
 * Since there's no true dynamic linker to change the GP register between plugins and the main engine,
 * custom ld linker scripts for both the main executable and the plugins ensure the GP-area is in the
 * same place for both. The ShortSegmentManager accesses this place via the symbols __plugin_hole_start
 * and __plugin_hole_end, which are defined in those custom ld linker scripts.
