+<h4 class="subsection">9.4.1 Small IPA passes</h4>
+<a name="index-small-IPA-passes"></a>
+<p>A small IPA pass is a pass derived from <code>simple_ipa_opt_pass</code>.
+As described in <a href="IPA.html#IPA">IPA</a>, it does everything at once and
+defines only the <em>Execute</em> stage. During this
+stage it accesses and modifies the function bodies.
+No <code>generate_summary</code>, <code>read_summary</code>, or <code>write_summary</code>
+hooks are defined.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> IPA free lang data
+
+<p>This pass frees resources that are used by the front end but are
+not needed once it is done. It is located in <samp>tree.cc</samp> and is described by
+<code>pass_ipa_free_lang_data</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA function and variable visibility
+
+<p>This is a local function pass handling visibilities of all symbols. This
+happens before LTO streaming, so <samp>-fwhole-program</samp> should be ignored
+at this level. It is located in <samp>ipa-visibility.cc</samp> and is described by
+<code>pass_ipa_function_and_variable_visibility</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA remove symbols
+
+<p>This pass performs reachability analysis and reclaims all unreachable nodes.
+It is located in <samp>passes.cc</samp> and is described by
+<code>pass_ipa_remove_symbols</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA OpenACC
+
+<p>This is a pass group for OpenACC processing. It is located in
+<samp>tree-ssa-loop.cc</samp> and is described by <code>pass_ipa_oacc</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA points-to analysis
+
+<p>This is a tree-based points-to analysis pass. The idea behind this analyzer
+is to generate set constraints from the program, then solve the resulting
+constraints in order to generate the points-to sets. It is located in
+<samp>tree-ssa-structalias.cc</samp> and is described by <code>pass_ipa_pta</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA OpenACC kernels
+
+<p>This is a pass group for processing OpenACC kernels regions. It is a
+subpass of the IPA OpenACC pass group that runs on offloaded functions
+containing OpenACC kernels loops. It is located in
+<samp>tree-ssa-loop.cc</samp> and is described by
+<code>pass_ipa_oacc_kernels</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> Target clone
+
+<p>This is a pass for parsing functions with multiple target attributes.
+It is located in <samp>multiple_target.cc</samp> and is described by
+<code>pass_target_clone</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA auto profile
+
+<p>This pass uses AutoFDO profiling data to annotate the control flow graph.
+It is located in <samp>auto-profile.cc</samp> and is described by
+<code>pass_ipa_auto_profile</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA tree profile
+
+<p>This pass does profiling for all functions in the call graph.
+It calculates branch
+probabilities and basic block execution counts. It is located
+in <samp>tree-profile.cc</samp> and is described by <code>pass_ipa_tree_profile</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA free function summary
+
+<p>This pass is a small IPA pass when argument <code>small_p</code> is true.
+It releases inline function summaries and call summaries.
+It is located in <samp>ipa-fnsummary.cc</samp> and is described by
+<code>pass_ipa_free_free_fn_summary</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA increase alignment
+
+<p>This pass increases the alignment of global arrays to improve
+vectorization. It is located in <samp>tree-vectorizer.cc</samp>
+and is described by <code>pass_ipa_increase_alignment</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA transactional memory
+
+<p>This pass is for transactional memory support.
+It is located in <samp>trans-mem.cc</samp> and is described by
+<code>pass_ipa_tm</code>.
+</p>
+</li><li> IPA lower emulated TLS
+
+<p>This pass lowers thread-local storage (TLS) operations
+to emulation functions provided by libgcc.
+It is located in <samp>tree-emutls.cc</samp> and is described by
+<code>pass_ipa_lower_emutls</code>.
+</p>
+</li></ul>
