+//===- llvm/Analysis/InductionVariable.h - Induction variable ----*- C++ -*--=//
+//
+// This interface is used to identify and classify induction variables that
+// exist in the program.  Induction variables must contain a PHI node that
+// exists in a loop header.  Because of this, they are identified an managed by
+// this PHI node.
+//
+// Induction variables are classified into a type.  Knowing that an induction
+// variable is of a specific type can constrain the values of the start and
+// step.  For example, a SimpleLinear induction variable must have a start and
+// step values that are constants.
+//
+// Induction variables can be created with or without loop information.  If no
+// loop information is available, induction variables cannot be recognized to be
+// more than SimpleLinear variables.
