is that, for functions whose bodies are entirely guarded by an if-statement, it
can be profitable to pull the test out of the callee and into the caller.
This code has had some cursory testing, but still has a number of known issues
on the LLVM test suite.

to work out (in a very simplistic way) which function
arguments (pointer arguments only) are only dereferenced
and so do not escape. Mark such arguments 'nocapture'.

This triggers only 60 times in llvm-test (look at .llvm.bc, not .linked.rbc)
and so it probably wont be turned on by default. Also, may of those are likely
to go away when PR2973 is fixed.

can get the readnone/readonly attributes, and gives them it.
The plan is to remove markmodref (which did the same thing
by querying GlobalsModRef) and delete the analogous
functionality from GlobalsModRef.

a FunctionPass. This makes it simpler, fixes dozens of bugs, adds
a couple of minor features, and shrinks is considerably: from
2214 to 1437 lines.

This pass transforms
%struct._Point = type { i32, i32, i32, i32, i32, i32 }
define internal void @foo(%struct._Point* sret %agg.result)
into
%struct._Point = type { i32, i32, i32, i32, i32, i32 }
define internal %struct._Point @foo()
This pass updates foo() clients appropriately to use
getresult instruction to extract return values.
This pass is not yet ready for prime time.

This patch replaces the SymbolTable class with ValueSymbolTable which does
not support types planes. This means that all symbol names in LLVM must now
be unique. The patch addresses the necessary changes to deal with this and
removes code no longer needed as a result. This completes the bulk of the
changes for this PR. Some cleanup patches will follow.

1. New parameter attribute called 'inreg'. It has meaning "place this
parameter in registers, if possible". This is some generalization of
gcc's regparm(n) attribute. It's currently used only in X86-32 backend.
2. Completely rewritten CC handling/lowering code inside X86 backend.
Merged stdcall + c CCs and fastcall + fast CC.
3. Dropped CSRET CC. We cannot add struct return variant for each
target-specific CC (e.g. stdcall + csretcc and so on).
4. Instead of CSRET CC introduced 'sret' parameter attribute. Setting in
on first attribute has meaning 'This is hidden pointer to structure
return. Handle it gently'.
5. Fixed small bug in llvm-extract + add new feature to
FunctionExtraction pass, which relinks all internal-linkaged callees
from deleted function to external linkage. This will allow further
linking everything together.
NOTEs: 1. Documentation will be updated soon.
2. llvm-upgrade should be improved to translate csret => sret.
Before this, there will be some unexpected test fails.

are visible to analysis as intrinsics. That is, make sure someone doesn't pass
free around by address in some struct (as happens in say 176.gcc).
This doesn't get rid of any indirect calls, just ensure calls to free and malloc
are always direct.
