testcase .ll

Here's the testcase (also attached).  %pointless could be
eliminated since no use is ever made of it except as a
memcpy target.  %temporary could also be eliminated in
favour of passing %result directly to the @initialize call.

define void @f(i8* noalias sret  %result) {
entry:
        %temporary = alloca i8          ; <i8*> [#uses=3]
        %pointless = alloca i8          ; <i8*> [#uses=1]
        call void @initialize( i8* noalias sret  %temporary )
        call void @llvm.memcpy.i32( i8* %pointless, i8* %temporary, i32 1, i32
4 )
        call void @llvm.memcpy.i32( i8* %result, i8* %temporary, i32 1, i32 4 )
        ret void
}

declare void @initialize(i8* noalias sret )
declare void @llvm.memcpy.i32(i8*, i8*, i32, i32) nounwind
