This PR implements the function splitBasicBlockBefore to address an
issue
that occurred during SplitEdge(BB, Succ, ...), inside splitBlockBefore.
The issue occurs in SplitEdge when the Succ has a single predecessor
and the edge between the BB and Succ is not critical. This produces
the result ‘BB->Succ->New’. The new function splitBasicBlockBefore
was added to splitBlockBefore to handle the issue and now produces
the correct result ‘BB->New->Succ’.
Below is an example of splitting the block bb1 at its first instruction.
/// Original IR
bb0:
br bb1
bb1:
%0 = mul i32 1, 2
br bb2
bb2:
/// IR after splitEdge(bb0, bb1) using splitBasicBlock
bb0:
br bb1
bb1:
br bb1.split
bb1.split:
%0 = mul i32 1, 2
br bb2
bb2:
/// IR after splitEdge(bb0, bb1) using splitBasicBlockBefore
bb0:
br bb1.split
bb1.split
br bb1
bb1:
%0 = mul i32 1, 2
br bb2
bb2:
