// This file implements dead code elimination and basic block merging.
//
// Specifically, this:
//   * 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
//
