+<div class="doc_text">
+ <p>This pass statically checks for common and easily-identified constructs
+ which produce undefined or likely unintended behavior in LLVM IR.</p>
+
+ <p>It is not a guarantee of correctness, in two ways. First, it isn't
+ comprehensive. There are checks which could be done statically which are
+ not yet implemented. Some of these are indicated by TODO comments, but
+ those aren't comprehensive either. Second, many conditions cannot be
+ checked statically. This pass does no dynamic instrumentation, so it
+ can't check for all possible problems.</p>
+
+ <p>Another limitation is that it assumes all code will be executed. A store
+ through a null pointer in a basic block which is never reached is harmless,
+ but this pass will warn about it anyway.</p>
+
+ <p>Optimization passes may make conditions that this pass checks for more or
+ less obvious. If an optimization pass appears to be introducing a warning,
+ it may be that the optimization pass is merely exposing an existing
+ condition in the code.</p>
+
+ <p>This code may be run before instcombine. In many cases, instcombine checks
+ for the same kinds of things and turns instructions with undefined behavior
+ into unreachable (or equivalent). Because of this, this pass makes some
+ effort to look through bitcasts and so on.
