+Dead argument elimination should be enhanced to handle cases when an argument is
+dead to an externally visible function.  Though the argument can't be removed
+from the externally visible function, the caller doesn't need to pass it in.
+For example in this testcase:
+
+  void foo(int X) __attribute__((noinline));
+  void foo(int X) { sideeffect(); }
+  void bar(int A) { foo(A+1); }
+
+We compile bar to:
+
+define void @bar(i32 %A) nounwind ssp {
+  %0 = add nsw i32 %A, 1                          ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+  tail call void @foo(i32 %0) nounwind noinline ssp
+  ret void
+}
+
+The add is dead, we could pass in 'i32 undef' instead.  This occurs for C++
+templates etc, which usually have linkonce_odr/weak_odr linkage, not internal
+linkage.

 With the recent changes to make the implicit def/use set explicit in
 machineinstrs, we should change the target descriptions for 'call' instructions
 so that the .td files don't list all the call-clobbered registers as implicit
