deduce_param_attrs.rs

//! Deduces supplementary parameter attributes from MIR.
//!
//! Deduced parameter attributes are those that can only be soundly determined by examining the
//! body of the function instead of just the signature. These can be useful for optimization
//! purposes on a best-effort basis. We compute them here and store them into the crate metadata so
//! dependent crates can use them.
//!
//! Note that this *crucially* relies on codegen *not* doing any more MIR-level transformations
//! after `optimized_mir`! We check for things that are *not* guaranteed to be preserved by MIR
//! transforms, such as which local variables happen to be mutated.
