Summary

The may get changed before specialization by RunSCCPSolver. In other words, the pass may change the function without specialization happens. Add test and comment to reveal this.
And it may return No Changed if the function get changed by RunSCCPSolver before the specialization. It looks like a potential bug.

Test Plan: check-all

I think this now deserves a comment.

hmm, I think it is easy to know that tryToReplaceWithConstant may change the function. I tried to add comments for this. But I find my words are a little redundant. I would make it if there is any good suggestion.

LGTM.

The remark about the comment was a nit anyway. Feel free to modify or omit it before committing.

I thought the idea was that this:

// FIXME: The solver may make changes to the function here, so set Changed, even if later
// function specialization does not trigger.
