/// and potentially moves the iterator if constant propagation was performed.

/// constant value, convert it into an unconditional branch to the constant
/// destination.  This is a nontrivial operation because the successors of this
/// basic block must have their PHI nodes updated.

/// isInstructionTriviallyDead - Return true if the result produced by the
/// instruction is not used, and the instruction has no side effects.
///

/// isTriviallyDead.  If so, remove the instruction and update the iterator to
/// point to the instruction that immediately succeeded the original
/// instruction.

/// SimplifyCFG - This function is used to do simplification of a CFG.  For
/// example, it adjusts branches to branches to eliminate the extra hop, it
/// eliminates unreachable basic blocks, and does other "peephole" optimization
/// of the CFG.  It returns true if a modification was made, possibly deleting
/// the basic block that was pointed to.

/// Instruction and replaces it with a slot in the stack frame, allocated via
/// alloca.  This allows the CFG to be changed around without fear of
/// invalidating the SSA information for the value.  It returns the pointer to
/// the alloca inserted to create a stack slot for X.
