First, it allows SRA of globals that have embedded arrays, implementing
GlobalOpt/globalsra-partial.llx. This comes up infrequently, but does allow,
for example, deleting several stores to dead parts of globals in dhrystone.
Second, this implements GlobalOpt/malloc-promote-*.llx, which is the
following nifty transformation:
Basically if a global pointer is initialized with malloc, and we can tell
that the program won't notice, we transform this:
struct foo *FooPtr;
...
FooPtr = malloc(sizeof(struct foo));
...
FooPtr->A FooPtr->B
Into:
struct foo FooPtrBody;
...
FooPtrBody.A FooPtrBody.B
This comes up occasionally, for example, the 'disp' global in 183.equake (where
the xform speeds the CBE version of the program up from 56.16s to 52.40s (7%)
on apoc), and the 'desired_accept', 'fixLRBT', 'macroArray', & 'key_queue'
globals in 300.twolf (speeding it up from 22.29s to 21.55s (3.4%)).
The nice thing about this xform is that it exposes the resulting global to
global variable optimization and makes alias analysis easier in addition to
eliminating a few loads.

still optimize away all of the indirect calls and loads, etc from it.
This turns code like this:
if (G != 0)
G();
into
if (G != 0)
ActualCallee();
This triggers a couple of times in gcc and libstdc++.

stored to, but are stored at variable indexes. This occurs at least in
176.gcc, but probably others, and we should handle it for completeness.

has a large number of users. Instead, just keep track of whether we're
making changes as we do so.
This patch has no functionlity changes.

we know that all uses of the global will trap if the pointer contained is
null. In this case, we forward substitute the stored value to any uses.
This has the effect of devirtualizing trivial globals in trivial cases. For
example, 164.gzip contains this:
gzip.h:extern int (*read_buf) OF((char *buf, unsigned size));
bits.c: read_buf = file_read;
deflate.c: lookahead = read_buf((char*)window,
deflate.c: n = read_buf((char*)window+strstart+lookahead, more);
Since read_buf has to point to file_read at every use, we just replace
the calls through read_buf with a direct call to file_read.
This occurs in several benchmarks, including 176.gcc and 164.gzip. Direct
calls are good and stuff.

* Do not lead dangling dead constants prevent optimization
* Iterate global optimization while we're making progress.
These changes allow us to be more aggressive, handling cases like
GlobalOpt/iterate.llx without a problem (turning it into 'ret int 0').

optimizations to trigger much more often. This allows the elimination of
several dozen more global variables in Programs/External. Note that we only
do this for non-constant globals: constant globals will already be optimized
out if the accesses to them permit it.
This implements Transforms/GlobalOpt/globalsra.llx

* Instead of handling dead functions specially, just nuke them.
* Be more aggressive about cleaning up after constification, in
particular, handle getelementptr instructions and constantexprs.
* Be a little bit more structured about how we process globals.
*** Delete globals that are only stored to, and never read. These are
clearly not useful, so they should go. This implements deadglobal.llx
This last one triggers quite a few times. In particular, 2208 in the
external tests, 1865 of which are in 252.eon. This shrinks eon from
1995094 to 1732341 bytes of bytecode.

simplifications of the resultant program to avoid making later passes
do it all.
This allows us to constify globals that just have the same constant that
they are initialized stored into them.
Suprisingly this comes up ALL of the freaking time, dozens of times in
SPEC, 30 times in vortex alone.
For example, on 256.bzip2, it allows us to constify these two globals:
%smallMode = internal global ubyte 0 ; <ubyte*> [#uses=8]
%verbosity = internal global int 0 ; <int*> [#uses=49]
Which (with later optimizations) results in the bytecode file shrinking
from 82286 to 69686 bytes! Lets hear it for IPO :)
For the record, it's nuking lots of "if (verbosity > 2) { do lots of stuff }"
code.

a function being deleted. Due to optimizations done while inlining, there
can be edges from the external call node to a function node that were not
apparent any longer.

test/Programs/SingleSource/Regression/C/2004-08-12-InlinerAndAllocas.c
and test/Programs/External/SPEC/CINT2000/176.gcc on zion.
This should obviously be pulled into 1.3.

dangling constant users were removed from a function, causing it to be dead,
we never removed the call graph edge from the external node to the function.
In most cases, this didn't cause a problem (by luck). This should definitely
go into 1.3
