[LLVMdev] Optimizing out redundant alloca involving byval params

[Mircea Trofin]

Hello all,

I'm trying to find the pass that would convert from:

define void @main(%struct* byval %ptr) {
  %val = load %struct* %ptr
  %val.ptr = alloca %struct
  store %struct %val, %struct* %val.ptr
  call void @extern_func(%struct* byval %val.ptr)
  ret void
}

to this:
define void @main(%struct* byval %ptr) {
  call void @extern_func(%struct* byval %ptr)
  ret void
}

First, am I missing something - would this be a correct optimization?

Thank you,
Mircea.
