// A note on notation.  For the sake of clarity, this file uses the phrase
// "formal parameters" to mean the `Value`s listed in the block head, and
// "actual parameters" to mean the `Value`s passed in a branch or a jump:
//
// block4(v16: i32, v18: i32):            <-- formal parameters
//   ...
//   brif v27, block7(v22, v24), block6   <-- actual parameters

// This transformation pass (conceptually) partitions all values in the
// function into two groups:
//
// * Group A: values defined by block formal parameters, except for the entry block.
//
// * Group B: All other values: that is, values defined by instructions,
//   and the formals of the entry block.
//
// For each value in Group A, it attempts to establish whether it will have
// the value of exactly one member of Group B.  If so, the formal parameter is
// deleted, all corresponding actual parameters (in jumps/branches to the
// defining block) are deleted, and a rename is inserted.
//
// The entry block is special-cased because (1) we don't know what values flow
// to its formals and (2) in any case we can't change its formals.
//
// Work proceeds in three phases.
//
// * Phase 1: examine all instructions.  For each block, make up a useful
//   grab-bag of information, `BlockSummary`, that summarises the block's
//   formals and jump/branch instruction.  This is used by Phases 2 and 3.
//
// * Phase 2: for each value in Group A, try to find a single Group B value
//   that flows to it.  This is done using a classical iterative forward
//   dataflow analysis over a simple constant-propagation style lattice.  It
//   converges quickly in practice -- I have seen at most 4 iterations.  This
//   is relatively cheap because the iteration is done over the
//   `BlockSummary`s, and does not visit each instruction.  The resulting
//   fixed point is stored in a `SolverState`.
//
// * Phase 3: using the `SolverState` and `BlockSummary`, edit the function to
//   remove redundant formals and actuals, and to insert suitable renames.
//
// Note that the effectiveness of the analysis depends on on the fact that
// there are no copy instructions in Cranelift's IR.  If there were, the
// computation of `actual_absval` in Phase 2 would have to be extended to
// chase through such copies.
//
// For large functions, the analysis cost using the new AArch64 backend is about
// 0.6% of the non-optimising compile time, as measured by instruction counts.
// This transformation usually pays for itself several times over, though, by
// reducing the isel/regalloc cost downstream.  Gains of up to 7% have been
// seen for large functions.
