A <tt>MachineFunctionPass</tt> executes on the machine-dependent
representation of each LLVM function in the program,
independent of all of the other functions in the program.
A <tt>MachineFunctionPass</tt> is also a <tt>FunctionPass</tt>, so all
the restrictions that apply to a <tt>FunctionPass</tt> also apply to it.
<tt>MachineFunctionPass</tt>es also have additional restrictions. In
particular, <tt>MachineFunctionPass</tt>es are not allowed to do any of
the following:
<ol>
<li>Modify any LLVM Instructions, BasicBlocks or Functions.
<li>Modify a MachineFunction other than the one currently being processed.
<li>Add or remove MachineFunctions from the current Module.
<li>Add or remove global variables from the current Module.
<li>Maintain state across invocations of
<a href="#runOnMachineFunction"><tt>runOnMachineFunction</tt></a> (including global data)
</ol><p>
