// 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..
