// This file implements an algorithm that returns for a divergent branch
// the set of basic blocks whose phi nodes become divergent due to divergent
// control. These are the blocks that are reachable by two disjoint paths from
// the branch or loop exits that have a reaching path that is disjoint from a
// path to the loop latch.
//
// The SyncDependenceAnalysis is used in the DivergenceAnalysis to model
// control-induced divergence in phi nodes.
//
// -- Summary --
// The SyncDependenceAnalysis lazily computes sync dependences [3].
// The analysis evaluates the disjoint path criterion [2] by a reduction
// to SSA construction. The SSA construction algorithm is implemented as
// a simple data-flow analysis [1].
//
// [1] "A Simple, Fast Dominance Algorithm", SPI '01, Cooper, Harvey and Kennedy
// [2] "Efficiently Computing Static Single Assignment Form
//     and the Control Dependence Graph", TOPLAS '91,
//           Cytron, Ferrante, Rosen, Wegman and Zadeck
// [3] "Improving Performance of OpenCL on CPUs", CC '12, Karrenberg and Hack
// [4] "Divergence Analysis", TOPLAS '13, Sampaio, Souza, Collange and Pereira
//
// -- Sync dependence --
// Sync dependence [4] characterizes the control flow aspect of the
// propagation of branch divergence. For example,
//
//   %cond = icmp slt i32 %tid, 10
//   br i1 %cond, label %then, label %else
// then:
//   br label %merge
// else:
//   br label %merge
// merge:
//   %a = phi i32 [ 0, %then ], [ 1, %else ]
//
// Suppose %tid holds the thread ID. Although %a is not data dependent on %tid
// because %tid is not on its use-def chains, %a is sync dependent on %tid
// because the branch "br i1 %cond" depends on %tid and affects which value %a
// is assigned to.
//
// -- Reduction to SSA construction --
// There are two disjoint paths from A to X, if a certain variant of SSA
// construction places a phi node in X under the following set-up scheme [2].
//
// This variant of SSA construction ignores incoming undef values.
// That is paths from the entry without a definition do not result in
// phi nodes.
//
//       entry
//     /      \
//    A        \
//  /   \       Y
// B     C     /
//  \   /  \  /
//    D     E
//     \   /
//       F
// Assume that A contains a divergent branch. We are interested
// in the set of all blocks where each block is reachable from A
// via two disjoint paths. This would be the set {D, F} in this
// case.
// To generally reduce this query to SSA construction we introduce
// a virtual variable x and assign to x different values in each
// successor block of A.
//           entry
//         /      \
//        A        \
//      /   \       Y
// x = 0   x = 1   /
//      \  /   \  /
//        D     E
//         \   /
//           F
// Our flavor of SSA construction for x will construct the following
//            entry
//          /      \
//         A        \
//       /   \       Y
// x0 = 0   x1 = 1  /
//       \   /   \ /
//      x2=phi    E
//         \     /
//          x3=phi
// The blocks D and F contain phi nodes and are thus each reachable
// by two disjoins paths from A.
//
// -- Remarks --
// In case of loop exits we need to check the disjoint path criterion for loops
// [2]. To this end, we check whether the definition of x differs between the
// loop exit and the loop header (_after_ SSA construction).
