Returning part // of the pointer as the function return value may or may not count as capturing // the pointer, depending on the context. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #include "llvm/Analysis/CaptureTracking.h" #include "llvm/Instructions.h" #include "llvm/Value.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/AliasAnalysis.h" #include "llvm/ADT/SmallSet.h" #include "llvm/ADT/SmallVector.h" #include "llvm/Support/CallSite.h" using namespace llvm; /// As its comment mentions, PointerMayBeCaptured can be expensive. /// However, it's not easy for BasicAA to cache the result, because /// it's an ImmutablePass.
