+//
+// This file transforms calls of the current function (self recursion) followed
+// by a return instruction with a branch to the entry of the function, creating
+// a loop.  This pass also implements the following extensions to the basic
+// algorithm:
+//
+//  1. Trivial instructions between the call and return do not prevent the
+//     transformation from taking place, though currently the analysis cannot
+//     support moving any really useful instructions (only dead ones).
+//  2. This pass transforms functions that are prevented from being tail
+//     recursive by an associative and commutative expression to use an
+//     accumulator variable, thus compiling the typical naive factorial or
+//     'fib' implementation into efficient code.
+//  3. TRE is performed if the function returns void, if the return
+//     returns the result returned by the call, or if the function returns a
+//     run-time constant on all exits from the function.  It is possible, though
+//     unlikely, that the return returns something else (like constant 0), and
+//     can still be TRE'd.  It can be TRE'd if ALL OTHER return instructions in
+//     the function return the exact same value.
+//  4. If it can prove that callees do not access their caller stack frame,
+//     they are marked as eligible for tail call elimination (by the code
+//     generator).
+//
+// There are several improvements that could be made:
+//
+//  1. If the function has any alloca instructions, these instructions will be
+//     moved out of the entry block of the function, causing them to be
+//     evaluated each time through the tail recursion.  Safely keeping allocas
+//     in the entry block requires analysis to proves that the tail-called
+//     function does not read or write the stack object.
+//  2. Tail recursion is only performed if the call immediately precedes the
+//     return instruction.  It's possible that there could be a jump between
+//     the call and the return.
+//  3. There can be intervening operations between the call and the return that
+//     prevent the TRE from occurring.  For example, there could be GEP's and
+//     stores to memory that will not be read or written by the call.  This
+//     requires some substantial analysis (such as with DSA) to prove safe to
+//     move ahead of the call, but doing so could allow many more TREs to be
+//     performed, for example in TreeAdd/TreeAlloc from the treeadd benchmark.
+//  4. The algorithm we use to detect if callees access their caller stack
+//     frames is very primitive.
