functions that don't already have a (dynamic) alloca.
Dynamic allocas cause inefficient codegen and we shouldn't
propagate this (behavior follows gcc). Two existing tests
assumed such inlining would be done; they are hacked by
adding an alloca in the caller, preserving the point of
the tests.

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'.

wrappers around the interesting code and use an obscure iterator
abstraction that dates back many many years.
Move EraseDeadInstructions to Transforms/Utils and name it
RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadInstructions.

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.

function.
- This explicitly models the costs for functions which should
"always" or "never" be inlined. This fixes bugs where such costs
were not previously respected.

LoopPass*.
- Although less precise, this means they can be used in clients
without RTTI (who would otherwise need to include LoopPass.h, which
eventually includes things using dynamic_cast). This was the
simplest solution that presented itself, but I am happy to use a
better one if available.

Unfortunately this means removing one regression test
of GlobalsModRef because I couldn't work out how to
perform it without MarkModRef.

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.

attributes on functions, based on the result of
alias analysis. It's not hardwired to use
GlobalsModRef even though this is the only (AFAIK)
alias analysis that results in this pass actually
doing something. Enable as follows:
opt ... -globalsmodref-aa -markmodref ...
Advantages of this pass: (1) records the result
of globalsmodref in the bitcode, meaning it is
available for use by later passes (currently
the pass manager isn't smart enough to magically
make an advanced alias analysis available to all
later passes), which may expose more optimization
opportunities; (2) hopefully speeds up compilation
when code is optimized twice, for example when a
file is compiled to bitcode, then later LTO is done
on it: marking functions readonly/readnone when
producing the initial bitcode should speed up alias
analysis during LTO; (3) good for discovering that
globalsmodref doesn't work very well :)
Not currently turned on by default.
