Not sure if there could be cases where a MemoryDef also loads a value that is then used as pointer of MemoryLocation

Is it safer to just delay the deletion for them too?

+1 to this question, I'm not clear if this is possible. MemoryDefs could be volatile loads, but this is not the case here since the pass is only looking at store/writing instructions. A memcpy does also load, so a memcpy to a location that is later overwritten, could be deleted here, while copying from a location that's already in the cache.

At this time I'm inclined to say this cannot happen. So let's have this fix in for the existing issue.

Deleting a memcpy wouldn't be a problem, as long as its pointer operands aren't deleted.

But we might remove something like a malloc call, which is a memory def, and the result of the malloc could be used as address and be in the cache. Updated the code to remove memory-defs that do not produce a value (i.e. have type void)

Is it possible to add more tests to cover the void/non-void type cases mentioned?

Added a couple of extra tests based on the original test.
