// This file defines the lifting pass which tries to "lift" Alloc
// cells (new/local variables) into SSA registers, replacing loads
// with the dominating stored value, eliminating loads and stores, and
// inserting φ-nodes as needed.

// TODO(adonovan): opt: there are many optimizations worth evaluating, and
// the conventional wisdom for SSA construction is that a simple
// algorithm well engineered often beats those of better asymptotic
// complexity on all but the most egregious inputs.
//
// Danny Berlin suggests that the Cooper et al. algorithm for
// computing the dominance frontier is superior to Cytron et al.
// Furthermore he recommends that rather than computing the DF for the
// whole function then renaming all alloc cells, it may be cheaper to
// compute the DF for each alloc cell separately and throw it away.
//
// Consider exploiting liveness information to avoid creating dead
// φ-nodes which we then immediately remove.
//
// Also see many other "TODO: opt" suggestions in the code.
