+
+<p> All <tt>LoopPass</tt> execute on each loop in the function independent of
+all of the other loops in the function. <tt>LoopPass</tt> processes loops in
+loop nest order such that outer most loop is processed last. </p>
+
+<p> <tt>LoopPass</tt> subclasses are allowed to update loop nest using
+<tt>LPPassManager</tt> interface. Implementing a loop pass is usually
+straightforward. <tt>LoopPass</tt>'s may overload three virtual methods to
+do their work. All these methods should return true if they modified the
+program, or false if they didn't. </p>

+region is processed last. </p>
+
+<p> <tt>RegionPass</tt> subclasses are allowed to update the region tree by using
+the <tt>RGPassManager</tt> interface. You may overload three virtual methods of
+<tt>RegionPass</tt> to implement your own region pass. All these
