llvm::Pass::releaseMemory

Declared in <llvm/Pass.h>

The default behavior of passes is to hold onto memory for the entire duration of their lifetime (which is the entire compile time). For pipelined passes, this is not a big deal because that memory gets recycled every time the pass is invoked on another program unit. For IP passes, it is more important to free memory when it is unused.

Optionally implement this function to release pass memory when it is no longer used.
