34 // To convert an irreducible cycle C to a natural loop L:
35 //
36 // 1. Add a new node N to C.
37 // 2. Redirect all external incoming edges through N.
38 // 3. Redirect all edges incident on header H through N.
39 //
40 // This is sufficient to ensure that:
41 //
42 // a. Every closed path in C also exists in L, with the modification that any
43 // path passing through H now passes through N before reaching H.
44 // b. Every external path incident on any entry of C is now incident on N and
45 // then redirected to the entry.
46 //
47 // Thus, L is a strongly connected component dominated by N, and hence L is a
48 // natural loop with header N.
49 //
50 // When an irreducible cycle C with header H is transformed into a loop, the
51 // following invariants hold:
52 //
53 // 1. No new subcycles are "discovered" in the set (C-H). The only internal
54 // edges that are redirected by the transform are incident on H. Any subcycle
55 // S in (C-H), already existed prior to this transform, and is already in the
56 // list of children for this cycle C.
57 //
58 // 2. Subcycles of C are not modified by the transform. For some subcycle S of
59 // C, edges incident on the entries of S are either internal to C, or they
60 // are now redirected through N, which is outside of S. So the list of
61 // entries to S does not change. Since the transform only adds a block
62 // outside S, and redirects edges that are not internal to S, the list of
63 // blocks in S does not change.
64 //
65 // 3. Similarly, any natural loop L included in C is not affected, with one
66 // exception: L is "destroyed" by the transform iff its header is H. The
67 // backedges of such a loop are now redirected to N instead, and hence the
68 // body of this loop gets merged into the new loop with header N.
69 //
70 // The actual transformation is handled by the ControlFlowHub, which redirects
71 // specified control flow edges through a set of guard blocks. This also moves
72 // every PHINode in an outgoing block to the hub. Since the hub dominates all
73 // the outgoing blocks, each such PHINode continues to dominate its uses. Since
74 // every header in an SCC has at least two predecessors, every value used in the
75 // header (or later) but defined in a predecessor (or earlier) is represented by
76 // a PHINode in a header. Hence the above handling of PHINodes is sufficient and
77 // no further processing is required to restore SSA.
78 //
79 // Limitation: The pass cannot handle switch statements and indirect
80 // branches. Both must be lowered to plain branches first.
