Detailed Description

A Use represents the edge between a Value definition and its users.

This is notionally a two-dimensional linked list. It supports traversing all of the uses for a particular value definition. It also supports jumping directly to the used value when we arrive from the User's operands, and jumping directly to the User when we arrive from the Value's uses.

The pointer to the used Value is explicit, and the pointer to the User is implicit. The implicit pointer is found via a waymarking algorithm described in the programmer's manual:

http://www.llvm.org/docs/ProgrammersManual.html#the-waymarking-algorithm

This is essentially the single most memory intensive object in LLVM because of the number of uses in the system. At the same time, the constant time operations it allows are essential to many optimizations having reasonable time complexity.

Initializes the waymarking tags on an array of Uses.

This sets up the array of Uses such that getUser() can find the User from any of those Uses.
