 If the compiler's optimization uses a function's body or information extracted
f56e54
 from its body to optimize/change another function, the latter is called an
f56e54
 impacted function of the former.  If a function is patched, its impacted
f56e54
 functions should be patched too.

-The impacted functions are decided by the compiler's interprocedural

-optimizations.  For example, inlining a function into its caller, cloning
f56e54
-a function and changing its caller to call this new clone, or extracting
f56e54
