9// This pass performs several transformations to transform natural loops into a
10// simpler form, which makes subsequent analyses and transformations simpler and
11// more effective.
12//
13// Loop pre-header insertion guarantees that there is a single, non-critical
14// entry edge from outside of the loop to the loop header. This simplifies a
15// number of analyses and transformations, such as LICM.
16//
17// Loop exit-block insertion guarantees that all exit blocks from the loop
18// (blocks which are outside of the loop that have predecessors inside of the
19// loop) only have predecessors from inside of the loop (and are thus dominated
20// by the loop header). This simplifies transformations such as store-sinking
21// that are built into LICM.
22//
23// This pass also guarantees that loops will have exactly one backedge.
24//
25// Indirectbr instructions introduce several complications. If the loop
26// contains or is entered by an indirectbr instruction, it may not be possible
27// to transform the loop and make these guarantees. Client code should check
28// that these conditions are true before relying on them.
29//
30// Note that the simplifycfg pass will clean up blocks which are split out but
31// end up being unnecessary, so usage of this pass should not pessimize
32// generated code.
33//
34// This pass obviously modifies the CFG, but updates loop information and
35// dominator information.
