11 // elimination removes arguments which are directly dead, as well as arguments
12 // only passed into function calls as dead arguments of other functions. This
13 // pass also deletes dead return values in a similar way.
15 // This pass is often useful as a cleanup pass to run after aggressive
16 // interprocedural passes, which add possibly-dead arguments or return values.
