[PATCH] A new HeapToStack allocation promotion pass

[Hal Finkel]

Bill,

Thanks for the pointer.

Just noticed this, in ProvenanceAnalysis.h it says:

/// This file declares a special form of Alias Analysis called ``Provenance
/// Analysis''. The word ``provenance'' refers to the history of the ownership
/// of an object. Thus ``Provenance Analysis'' is an analysis which attempts to
/// use various techniques to determine if locally

if locally what? I think something was truncated here.
