There are two ways we can fix this problem, depending on how the semantics of byval and initializes should interact: * Don't infer initializes on byval arguments. initializes on byval refers to the original caller memory (or having both attributes is made a verifier error). * Infer initializes on byval, but don't use it in DSE. initializes on byval refers to the callee copy. This matches the semantics of readonly on byval. This is slightly more powerful, for example, we could do a backend optimization where byval + initializes will allocate the full size of byval on the stack but not copy over the parts covered by initializes. I went with the second variant here, skipping byval + initializes in DSE (FunctionAttrs already doesn't propagate initializes past byval). I'm open to going in the other direction though.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
