New Revision: 53606

URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=53606&view=rev
Log:
Make DeadArgElim keep liveness of the return value as a whole in addition to
only the liveness of partial return values (for functions returning a struct).
This is more explicit to prevent unwanted changes in the return value. 

In particular, deadargelim now canonicalizes a function returning {i32} to
returning i32 and {} to void, if the struct returned is not used in its
entirety, but only the single element is used.
