New Revision: 62461

URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=62461&view=rev
Log:
BasicAliasAnalysis and FunctionAttrs were both
doing very similar pointer capture analysis.
Factor out the common logic.  The new version
is from FunctionAttrs since it does a better
job than the version in BasicAliasAnalysis
