Global
This should ideally only be called once. It constructs a new global scope, which is not associated to any AST node. However, depending on the language, a language frontend can explicitly set the ast node using ScopeManager.resetToGlobal if the language needs a global scope that is restricted to a translation unit, i.e. C++ while still maintaining a unique list of global variables.
Functions
THe value declarations are only set in the ast node if the handler of the ast node may not know the outer
Because the way we currently handle parallel parsing in TranslationManager.parseParallel, we end up with multiple GlobalScope objects, one for each TranslationUnitDeclaration. In the end, we need to merge all these different scopes into one final global scope. To be somewhat consistent with the behaviour of TranslationManager.parseSequentially, we assign the last translation unit declaration we see to the AST node of the GlobalScope. This is not completely ideal, but the best we can do for now.
Properties

Returns the GlobalScope of this scope by traversing its parents upwards.
