	Test if the value of P, or any value covered by its provenance, is ever stored within the function (not counting callees).

Detailed Description

This file defines a special form of Alias Analysis called Provenance Analysis''.

The wordprovenance'' refers to the history of the ownership of an object. Thus `‘Provenance Analysis’' is an analysis which attempts to use various techniques to determine if locally

WARNING: This file knows about certain library functions. It recognizes them by name, and hardwires knowledge of their semantics.

WARNING: This file knows about how certain Objective-C library functions are used. Naive LLVM IR transformations which would otherwise be behavior-preserving may break these assumptions.
