32  * This file implements an optimization that deletes statically
33  * unreachable/dead code. In NIR, one way this can happen is when an if
34  * statement has a constant condition:
35  *
36  * if (true) {
37  *    ...
38  * }
39  *
40  * We delete the if statement and paste the contents of the always-executed
41  * branch into the surrounding control flow, possibly removing more code if
42  * the branch had a jump at the end.
43  *
44  * Another way is that control flow can end in a jump so that code after it
45  * never gets executed. In particular, this can happen after optimizing
46  * something like:
47  *
48  * if (true) {
49  *    ...
50  *    break;
51  * }
52  * ...
53  *
54  * We also consider the case where both branches of an if end in a jump, e.g.:
55  *
56  * if (...) {
57  *    break;
58  * } else {
59  *    continue;
60  * }
61  * ...
62  *
63  * Finally, we also handle removing useless loops, i.e. loops with no side
64  * effects and without any definitions that are used elsewhere. This case is a
65  * little different from the first two in that the code is actually run (it
66  * just never does anything), but there are similar issues with needing to
67  * be careful with restarting after deleting the cf_node (see dead_cf_list())
68  * so this is a convenient place to remove them.
