Pass *createSCCPPass();

//
// DeadInstElimination - This pass quickly removes trivially dead instructions
// without modifying the CFG of the function. It is a BasicBlockPass, so it
// runs efficiently when queued next to other BasicBlockPass's.
//
Pass *createDeadInstEliminationPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// DeadCodeElimination - This pass is more powerful than DeadInstElimination,
// because it is worklist driven that can potentially revisit instructions when
// their other instructions become dead, to eliminate chains of dead
// computations.
//
Pass *createDeadCodeEliminationPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// AggressiveDCE - This pass uses the SSA based Aggressive DCE algorithm. This
// algorithm assumes instructions are dead until proven otherwise, which makes
// it more successful are removing non-obviously dead instructions.
//
Pass *createAggressiveDCEPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// DecomposeMultiDimRefs - Convert multi-dimensional references consisting of
// any combination of 2 or more array and structure indices into a sequence of
// instructions (using getelementpr and cast) so that each instruction has at
// most one index (except structure references, which need an extra leading
// index of [0]).
//
Pass *createDecomposeMultiDimRefsPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// GCSE - This pass is designed to be a very quick global transformation that
// eliminates global common subexpressions from a function. It does this by
// examining the SSA value graph of the function, instead of doing slow
// bit-vector computations.
//
Pass *createGCSEPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// InductionVariableSimplify - Transform induction variables in a program to all
// use a single cannonical induction variable per loop.
//
Pass *createIndVarSimplifyPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// InstructionCombining - Combine instructions to form fewer, simple
// instructions. This pass does not modify the CFG, and has a tendancy to
// make instructions dead, so a subsequent DCE pass is useful.
//
// This pass combines things like:
// %Y = add int 1, %X
// %Z = add int 1, %Y
// into:
// %Z = add int 2, %X
//
Pass *createInstructionCombiningPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// LICM - This pass is a simple natural loop based loop invariant code motion
// pass.
//
Pass *createLICMPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// PiNodeInsertion - This pass inserts single entry Phi nodes into basic blocks
// that are preceeded by a conditional branch, where the branch gives
// information about the operands of the condition. For example, this C code:
// if (x == 0) { ... = x + 4;
// becomes:
// if (x == 0) {
// x2 = phi(x); // Node that can hold data flow information about X
// ... = x2 + 4;
//
// Since the direction of the condition branch gives information about X itself
// (whether or not it is zero), some passes (like value numbering or ABCD) can
// use the inserted Phi/Pi nodes as a place to attach information, in this case
// saying that X has a value of 0 in this scope. The power of this analysis
// information is that "in the scope" translates to "for all uses of x2".
//
// This special form of Phi node is refered to as a Pi node, following the
// terminology defined in the "Array Bounds Checks on Demand" paper.
//
Pass *createPiNodeInsertionPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// This pass is used to promote memory references to be register references. A
// simple example of the transformation performed by this pass is:
//
// FROM CODE TO CODE
// %X = alloca int, uint 1 ret int 42
// store int 42, int *%X
// %Y = load int* %X
// ret int %Y
//
Pass *createPromoteMemoryToRegister();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// This pass reassociates commutative expressions in an order that is designed
// to promote better constant propogation, GCSE, LICM, PRE...
//
// For example: 4 + (x + 5) -> x + (4 + 5)
//
Pass *createReassociatePass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// CFG Simplification - Merge basic blocks, eliminate unreachable blocks,
// simplify terminator instructions, etc...
//
Pass *createCFGSimplificationPass();
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// These functions removes symbols from functions and modules.
