// This file implements logic for computing correct alloc and dealloc positions.
// Furthermore, buffer placement also adds required new alloc and copy
// operations to ensure that all buffers are deallocated. The main class is the
// BufferDeallocationPass class that implements the underlying algorithm. In
// order to put allocations and deallocations at safe positions, it is
// significantly important to put them into the correct blocks. However, the
// liveness analysis does not pay attention to aliases, which can occur due to
// branches (and their associated block arguments) in general. For this purpose,
// BufferDeallocation firstly finds all possible aliases for a single value
// (using the BufferAliasAnalysis class). Consider the following
// example:
//
// ^bb0(%arg0):
//   cond_br %cond, ^bb1, ^bb2
// ^bb1:
//   br ^exit(%arg0)
// ^bb2:
//   %new_value = ...
//   br ^exit(%new_value)
// ^exit(%arg1):
//   return %arg1;
//
// We should place the dealloc for %new_value in exit. However, we have to free
// the buffer in the same block, because it cannot be freed in the post
// dominator. However, this requires a new copy buffer for %arg1 that will
// contain the actual contents. Using the class BufferAliasAnalysis, we
// will find out that %new_value has a potential alias %arg1. In order to find
// the dealloc position we have to find all potential aliases, iterate over
// their uses and find the common post-dominator block (note that additional
// copies and buffers remove potential aliases and will influence the placement
// of the deallocs). In all cases, the computed block can be safely used to free
// the %new_value buffer (may be exit or bb2) as it will die and we can use
// liveness information to determine the exact operation after which we have to
// insert the dealloc. However, the algorithm supports introducing copy buffers
// and placing deallocs in safe locations to ensure that all buffers will be
// freed in the end.
//
// TODO:
// The current implementation does not support explicit-control-flow loops and
// the resulting code will be invalid with respect to program semantics.
// However, structured control-flow loops are fully supported. Furthermore, it
// doesn't accept functions which return buffers already.
