Summary

As a result of a few internal discussions, I'd like to continue the work done in this ancient thread (http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2009-September/006308.html) by Simone Pellegrini.

The current state of the patch is its latest revision from 2009. I will do the minimal changes to get it to compile. I'll try to address the comments that were not addressed. Once this is done, we can start a formal review procedure. I believe our suspicious clone detection infrastructure would benefit from the AST level Use-Define Chains. Also, a few SA passes could make use of this concept.
