     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.
