//===- PromoteMemoryToRegister.cpp - Convert memory refs to regs ----------===//
//
// This pass is used to promote memory references to be register references.  A
// simple example of the transformation performed by this pass is:
//
//        FROM CODE                           TO CODE
//   %X = alloca int, uint 1                 ret int 42
//   store int 42, int *%X
//   %Y = load int* %X
//   ret int %Y
//
// To do this transformation, a simple analysis is done to ensure it is safe.
// Currently this just loops over all alloca instructions, looking for
// instructions that are only used in simple load and stores.
//
// After this, the code is transformed by...something magical :)
//
