[llvm-dev] Redundant copies

[Roger Ferrer Ibáñez via llvm-dev]

Hi Sam,

just a short question: I was taking a look at the RDA pass and it doesn't
currently handle RegMasks. Is in your backlog to add support for those?

I am asking because I found myself analyzing across call instructions. Not
taking the regmasks into account leads to inexact results and needs extra
care. So I wondered if this was already in your phabricator backlog. I made
a first implementation downstream but before I continue with it I wanted to
make sure I'm not stepping on your toes :)

Thank you very much,
