/* This file implements return value optimizations for functions which
   return aggregate types.

   Basically this pass searches the function for return statements which
   return a local aggregate.  When converted to RTL such statements will
   generate a copy from the local aggregate to final return value destination
   mandated by the target's ABI.

   That copy can often be avoided by directly constructing the return value
   into the final destination mandated by the target's ABI.

   This is basically a generic equivalent to the C++ front-end's 
   Named Return Value optimization.  */
