19 /// This pass transforms loops that contain branches or switches on loop-
20 /// invariant conditions to have multiple loops. For example, it turns the left
21 /// into the right code:
22 ///
23 ///  for (...)                  if (lic)
24 ///    A                          for (...)
25 ///    if (lic)                     A; B; C
26 ///      B                      else
27 ///    C                          for (...)
28 ///                                 A; C
29 ///
30 /// This can increase the size of the code exponentially (doubling it every time
31 /// a loop is unswitched) so we only unswitch if the resultant code will be
32 /// smaller than a threshold.
33 ///
34 /// This pass expects LICM to be run before it to hoist invariant conditions out
35 /// of the loop, to make the unswitching opportunity obvious.
36 ///
37 /// There is a taxonomy of unswitching that we use to classify different forms
38 /// of this transformaiton:
39 ///
40 /// - Trival unswitching: this is when the condition can be unswitched without
41 ///   cloning any code from inside the loop. A non-trivial unswitch requires
42 ///   code duplication.
43 ///
44 /// - Full unswitching: this is when the branch or switch is completely moved
45 ///   from inside the loop to outside the loop. Partial unswitching removes the
46 ///   branch from the clone of the loop but must leave a (somewhat simplified)
47 ///   branch in the original loop. While theoretically partial unswitching can
48 ///   be done for switches, the requirements are extreme - we need the loop
49 ///   invariant input to the switch to be sufficient to collapse to a single
50 ///   successor in each clone.
51 ///
52 /// This pass always does trivial, full unswitching for both branches and
53 /// switches. For branches, it also always does trivial, partial unswitching.
54 ///
55 /// If enabled (via the constructor's `NonTrivial` parameter), this pass will
56 /// additionally do non-trivial, full unswitching for branches and switches, and
57 /// will do non-trivial, partial unswitching for branches.
58 ///
59 /// Because partial unswitching of switches is extremely unlikely to be possible
60 /// in practice and significantly complicates the implementation, this pass does
61 /// not currently implement that in any mode.
