10// This transformation implements the well known scalar replacement of
11// aggregates transformation.  This xform breaks up alloca instructions of
12// aggregate type (structure or array) into individual alloca instructions for
13// each member (if possible).  Then, if possible, it transforms the individual
14// alloca instructions into nice clean scalar SSA form.
15//
16// This combines a simple SRoA algorithm with the Mem2Reg algorithm because
17// often interact, especially for C++ programs.  As such, iterating between
18// SRoA, then Mem2Reg until we run out of things to promote works well.
