New Revision: 47247

URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=47247&view=rev
Log:
Teach getModRefInfo that memcpy, memmove, and memset don't "capture" memory addresses.
Also, noalias arguments are be considered "like" stack allocated ones for this purpose, because
the only way they can be modref'ed is if they escape somewhere in the current function.
