//===- llvm/Analysis/InductionVariable.h - Induction variable ----*- C++ -*--=//
//
// This interface is used to identify and classify induction variables that
// exist in the program.  Induction variables must contain a PHI node that
// exists in a loop header.  Because of this, they are identified an managed by
// this PHI node.
//
// Induction variables are classified into a type.  Knowing that an induction
// variable is of a specific type can constrain the values of the start and
// step.  For example, a SimpleLinear induction variable must have a start and
// step values that are constants.
//
// Induction variables can be created with or without loop information.  If no
// loop information is available, induction variables cannot be recognized to be
// more than SimpleLinear variables.
