11 // sanity checking of input to the system, and for checking that transformations
12 // haven't done something bad.
13 //
14 // Note that this does not provide full 'java style' security and verifications,
15 // instead it just tries to ensure that code is well formed.
16 //
17 // To see what specifically is checked, look at the top of Verifier.cpp

36 /// this enumeration as an argument provides a default value for it. The
37 /// actions are listed below.

58 /// PassManagers and stuff.
