9 // This pass performs loop invariant code motion, attempting to remove as much
10 // code from the body of a loop as possible.  It does this by either hoisting
11 // code into the preheader block, or by sinking code to the exit blocks if it is
12 // safe.  This pass also promotes must-aliased memory locations in the loop to
13 // live in registers, thus hoisting and sinking "invariant" loads and stores.
14 //
15 // This pass uses alias analysis for two purposes:
16 //
17 //  1. Moving loop invariant loads and calls out of loops.  If we can determine
18 //     that a load or call inside of a loop never aliases anything stored to,
19 //     we can hoist it or sink it like any other instruction.
20 //  2. Scalar Promotion of Memory - If there is a store instruction inside of
21 //     the loop, we try to move the store to happen AFTER the loop instead of
22 //     inside of the loop.  This can only happen if a few conditions are true:
23 //       A. The pointer stored through is loop invariant
24 //       B. There are no stores or loads in the loop which _may_ alias the
25 //          pointer.  There are no calls in the loop which mod/ref the pointer.
26 //     If these conditions are true, we can promote the loads and stores in the
27 //     loop of the pointer to use a temporary alloca'd variable.  We then use
28 //     the SSAUpdater to construct the appropriate SSA form for the value.
