// Run analysis on minimal sets of mutually recursive functions
// or single non-recursive functions, bottom up.
//
// Finding these sets is finding strongly connected components
// in the static call graph.  The algorithm for doing that is taken
// from Sedgewick, Algorithms, Second Edition, p. 482, with two
// adaptations.
//
// First, a hidden closure function (n->curfn != N) cannot be the
// root of a connected component. Refusing to use it as a root
// forces it into the component of the function in which it appears.
// This is more convenient for escape analysis.
//
// Second, each function becomes two virtual nodes in the graph,
// with numbers n and n+1. We record the function's node number as n
// but search from node n+1. If the search tells us that the component
// number (min) is n+1, we know that this is a trivial component: one function
// plus its closures. If the search tells us that the component number is
// n, then there was a path from node n+1 back to node n, meaning that
// the function set is mutually recursive. The escape analysis can be
// more precise when analyzing a single non-recursive function than
// when analyzing a set of mutually recursive functions.

// a list of functions, every function on that list only calls other functions
// on the list or functions that have been passed in previous invocations of
// analyze. Closures appear in the same list as their outer functions.
// The lists are as short as possible while preserving those requirements.
// (In a typical program, many invocations of analyze will be passed just
// a single function.) The boolean argument 'recursive' passed to analyze
// specifies whether the functions on the list are mutually recursive.

// Escape analysis.

// An escape analysis pass for a set of functions.
// The analysis assumes that closures and the functions in which they
// appear are analyzed together, so that the aliasing between their
// variables can be modeled more precisely.
//
// First escfunc, esc and escassign recurse over the ast of each
// function to dig out flow(dst,src) edges between any
// pointer-containing nodes and store them in dst->escflowsrc.  For
// variables assigned to a variable in an outer scope or used as a
// return value, they store a flow(theSink, src) edge to a fake node
// 'the Sink'.  For variables referenced in closures, an edge
// flow(closure, &var) is recorded and the flow of a closure itself to
// an outer scope is tracked the same way as other variables.
//
// Then escflood walks the graph starting at theSink and tags all
// variables of it can reach an & node as escaping and all function
// parameters it can reach as leaking.
//
// If a value's address is taken but the address does not escape,
// then the value can stay on the stack.  If the value new(T) does
// not escape, then new(T) can be rewritten into a stack allocation.
// The same is true of slice literals.
//
// If optimizations are disabled (-N), this code is not used.
// Instead, the compiler assumes that any value whose address
// is taken without being immediately dereferenced
// needs to be moved to the heap, and new(T) and slice
// literals are always real allocations.
