That’s strange. AFAIK IPSCCP does exactly that for the DT analysis, see getAnalysis in 
   https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/lib/Transforms/IPO/SCCP.cpp#L53

Which is called for each function in the module:
  https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/lib/Transforms/Scalar/SCCP.cpp#L1960 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/lib/Transforms/Scalar/SCCP.cpp#L1960>

It does not seem like the legacy pass manager is able to preserve Function analyses from Module passes, whereas the new pass manager can, however.


Cheers,
Florian
