// This file implements dead code elimination and basic block merging, along
// with a collection of other peephole control flow optimizations. For example:
//
// * Removes basic blocks with no predecessors.
// * Merges a basic block into its predecessor if there is only one and the
// predecessor only has one successor.
// * Eliminates PHI nodes for basic blocks with a single predecessor.
// * Eliminates a basic block that only contains an unconditional branch.
// * Changes invoke instructions to nounwind functions to be calls.
// * Change things like "if (x) if (y)" into "if (x&y)".
// * etc..
