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