// This file contains routines that help determine which pointers are captured.
// A pointer value is captured if the function makes a copy of any part of the
// pointer that outlives the call. Not being captured means, more or less, that
// the pointer is only dereferenced and not stored in a global. Returning part
// of the pointer as the function return value may or may not count as capturing
// the pointer, depending on the context.
