10// This file implements a simple interprocedural pass which walks the
11// call-graph, looking for functions which do not access or only read
12// non-local memory, and marking them readnone/readonly.  In addition,
13// it marks function arguments (of pointer type) 'nocapture' if a call
14// to the function does not create any copies of the pointer value that
15// outlive the call.  This more or less means that the pointer is only
16// dereferenced, and not returned from the function or stored in a global.
17// This pass is implemented as a bottom-up traversal of the call-graph.
