1//===- ScalarReplAggregates.cpp - Scalar Replacement of Aggregates --------===//
2//
3// This transformation implements the well known scalar replacement of
4// aggregates transformation.  This xform breaks up alloca instructions of
5// aggregate type (structure or array) into individual alloca instructions for
6// each member (if possible).
