+If you are using the LLVM demo page, you may often wonder what happened to all
+of the code that you typed in.  Remember that the demo script is running the
+code through the LLVM optimizers, so if you code doesn't actually do anything
+useful, it might all be deleted.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To prevent this, make sure that the code is actually needed.  For example, if
+you are computing some expression, return the value from the function instead of
+leaving it in a local variable.  If you really want to constrain the optimizer,
+you can read from and assign to <tt>volatile</tt> global variables.
