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