//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// This pass promotes "by reference" arguments to be "by value" arguments. In
// practice, this means looking for internal functions that have pointer
// arguments. If it can prove, through the use of alias analysis, that an
// argument is *only* loaded, then it can pass the value into the function
// instead of the address of the value. This can cause recursive simplification
// of code and lead to the elimination of allocas (especially in C++ template
// code like the STL).
//
// This pass also handles aggregate arguments that are passed into a function,
// scalarizing them if the elements of the aggregate are only loaded. Note that
// it refuses to scalarize aggregates which would require passing in more than
// three operands to the function, because passing thousands of operands for a
// large array or structure is unprofitable!
//
// Note that this transformation could also be done for arguments that are only
// stored to (returning the value instead), but does not currently. This case
// would be best handled when and if LLVM begins supporting multiple return
// values from functions.
//
// TODO : Describe this pass.
