// An irreducible SCC is one which has multiple "header" blocks, i.e., blocks
// with control-flow edges incident from outside the SCC.  This pass converts a
// irreducible SCC into a natural loop by applying the following transformation:
//
// 1. Collect the set of headers H of the SCC.
// 2. Collect the set of predecessors P of these headers. These may be inside as
//    well as outside the SCC.
// 3. Create block N and redirect every edge from set P to set H through N.
//
// This converts the SCC into a natural loop with N as the header: N is the only
// block with edges incident from outside the SCC, and all backedges in the SCC
// are incident on N, i.e., for every backedge, the head now dominates the tail.
//
// INPUT CFG: The blocks A and B form an irreducible loop with two headers.
//
//                        Entry
//                       /     \
//                      v       v
//                      A ----> B
//                      ^      /|
//                       `----' |
//                              v
//                             Exit
//
// OUTPUT CFG: Edges incident on A and B are now redirected through a
// new block N, forming a natural loop consisting of N, A and B.
//
//                        Entry
//                          |
//                          v
//                    .---> N <---.
//                   /     / \     \
//                  |     /   \     |
//                  \    v     v    /
//                   `-- A     B --'
//                             |
//                             v
//                            Exit
//
// The transformation is applied to every maximal SCC that is not already
// recognized as a loop. The pass operates on all maximal SCCs found in the
// function body outside of any loop, as well as those found inside each loop,
// including inside any newly created loops. This ensures that any SCC hidden
// inside a maximal SCC is also transformed.
//
// The actual transformation is handled by function CreateControlFlowHub, which
// takes a set of incoming blocks (the predecessors) and outgoing blocks (the
// headers). The function also moves every PHINode in an outgoing block to the
// hub. Since the hub dominates all the outgoing blocks, each such PHINode
// continues to dominate its uses. Since every header in an SCC has at least two
// predecessors, every value used in the header (or later) but defined in a
// predecessor (or earlier) is represented by a PHINode in a header. Hence the
// above handling of PHINodes is sufficient and no further processing is
// required to restore SSA.
//
// Limitation: The pass cannot handle switch statements and indirect
//             branches. Both must be lowered to plain branches first.
