// This file provides the prototypes and definitions related to the Symbol
// Rewriter pass.
//
// The Symbol Rewriter pass takes a set of rewrite descriptors which define
// transformations for symbol names. These can be either single name to name
// trnsformation or more broad regular expression based transformations.
//
// All the functions are re-written at the IR level. The Symbol Rewriter itself
// is exposed as a module level pass. All symbols at the module level are
// iterated. For any matching symbol, the requested transformation is applied,
// updating references to it as well (a la RAUW). The resulting binary will
// only contain the rewritten symbols.
//
// By performing this operation in the compiler, we are able to catch symbols
// that would otherwise not be possible to catch (e.g. inlined symbols).
//
// This makes it possible to cleanly transform symbols without resorting to
// overly-complex macro tricks and the pre-processor. An example of where this
// is useful is the sanitizers where we would like to intercept a well-defined
// set of functions across the module.
