// This file implements the control flow graph (CFG) simplifications
// presented as part of the 'Getting Started With LLVM: Basics' tutorial at the
// US LLVM Developers Meeting 2019. It also contains additional material.
//
// The current file contains three different CFG simplifications. There are
// multiple versions of each implementation (e.g. _v1 and _v2), which implement
// additional functionality (e.g. preserving analysis like the DominatorTree) or
// use additional utilities to simplify the code (e.g. LLVM's PatternMatch.h).
// The available simplifications are:
// 1. Trivially Dead block Removal (removeDeadBlocks_v[1,2]).
// This simplifications removes all blocks without predecessors in the CFG
// from a function.
// 2. Conditional Branch Elimination (eliminateCondBranches_v[1,2,3])
// This simplification replaces conditional branches with constant integer
// conditions with unconditional branches.
// 3. Single Predecessor Block Merging (mergeIntoSinglePredecessor_v[1,2])
// This simplification merges blocks with a single predecessor into the
// predecessor, if that block has a single successor.
//
// TODOs
// * Hook up pass to the new pass manager.
// * Preserve LoopInfo.
// * Add fixed point iteration to delete all dead blocks
// * Add implementation using reachability to discover dead blocks.
