/// \file This pass attempts to replace out argument usage with a return of a
/// struct.
///
/// We can support returning a lot of values directly in registers, but
/// idiomatic C code frequently uses a pointer argument to return a second value
/// rather than returning a struct by value. GPU stack access is also quite
/// painful, so we want to avoid that if possible. Passing a stack object
/// pointer to a function also requires an additional address expansion code
/// sequence to convert the pointer to be relative to the kernel's scratch wave
/// offset register since the callee doesn't know what stack frame the incoming
/// pointer is relative to.
///
/// The goal is to try rewriting code that looks like this:
///
///  int foo(int a, int b, int* out) {
///     *out = bar();
///     return a + b;
/// }
///
/// into something like this:
///
///  std::pair<int, int> foo(int a, int b) {
///     return std::make_pair(a + b, bar());
/// }
///
/// Typically the incoming pointer is a simple alloca for a temporary variable
/// to use the API, which if replaced with a struct return will be easily SROA'd
/// out when the stub function we create is inlined
///
/// This pass introduces the struct return, but leaves the unused pointer
/// arguments and introduces a new stub function calling the struct returning
/// body. DeadArgumentElimination should be run after this to clean these up.
