/// \file / This file provides routines used by LLVM's value numbering passes to
/// perform various forms of value extraction from memory when the types are not
/// identical.  For example, given
///
/// store i32 8, i32 *%foo
/// %a = bitcast i32 *%foo to i16
/// %val = load i16, i16 *%a
///
/// It possible to extract the value of the load of %a from the store to %foo.
/// These routines know how to tell whether they can do that (the analyze*
/// routines), and can also insert the necessary IR to do it (the get*
/// routines).
