//
// This pass promotes "by reference" arguments to be "by value" arguments. In
// practice, this means looking for internal functions that have pointer
// arguments. If we can prove, through the use of alias analysis, that that an
// argument is *only* loaded, then we 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
// we refuse to scalarize aggregates which would require passing in more than
// three operands to the function, because we don't want to pass thousands of
// operands for a large array or structure!
//
// Note that this transformation could also be done for arguments that are only
// stored to (returning the value instead), but we do not currently handle that
// case. This case would be best handled when and if we start supporting
// multiple return values from functions.
