            Bug ID: 33646
           Summary: ThinLTO doesn't apply interprocedural
                    DeadArgumentElimination optimization
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Interprocedural Optimizations
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

LTO will apply the deadargelim pass, but ThinLTO can't apply this optimization
right now.

$ cat a.cc
__attribute__((noinline))
int f(const int *x, int j) {
    int k = *x;
    return k + 1;
}

__attribute__((noinline))
int g(int *x) {
    *x++;
    return *x;
}
$ cat b.cc
#include <stdio.h>

extern int f(const int *x, int j);
extern int g(int *x);

int main(void) {
  int x = 3;
  printf("%d\n", f(&x, x));
  g(&x);
  printf("%d\n", x);
}

$ ../build/bin/clang++ a.cc b.cc -O3 --for-linker=-mllvm --for-linker=-stats
-flto=thin -fuse-ld=lld -o thin &>&1 | grep deadargelim
# nothing
$ ../build/bin/clang++ a.cc b.cc -O3 --for-linker=-mllvm --for-linker=-stats
-flto -fuse-ld=lld -o lto &>&1 | grep deadargelim
   1 deadargelim           - Number of unread args removed
   1 deadargelim           - Number of unused return values removed
