//! A classic liveness analysis based on dataflow over the AST.  Computes,
//! for each local variable in a function, whether that variable is live
//! at a given point.  Program execution points are identified by their
//! id.
//!
//! # Basic idea
//!
//! The basic model is that each local variable is assigned an index.  We
//! represent sets of local variables using a vector indexed by this
//! index.  The value in the vector is either 0, indicating the variable
//! is dead, or the id of an expression that uses the variable.
//!
//! We conceptually walk over the AST in reverse execution order.  If we
//! find a use of a variable, we add it to the set of live variables.  If
//! we find an assignment to a variable, we remove it from the set of live
//! variables.  When we have to merge two flows, we take the union of
//! those two flows---if the variable is live on both paths, we simply
//! pick one id.  In the event of loops, we continue doing this until a
//! fixed point is reached.
//!
//! ## Checking initialization
//!
//! At the function entry point, all variables must be dead.  If this is
//! not the case, we can report an error using the id found in the set of
//! live variables, which identifies a use of the variable which is not
//! dominated by an assignment.
//!
//! ## Checking moves
//!
//! After each explicit move, the variable must be dead.
//!
//! ## Computing last uses
//!
//! Any use of the variable where the variable is dead afterwards is a
//! last use.
//!
//! # Implementation details
//!
//! The actual implementation contains two (nested) walks over the AST.
//! The outer walk has the job of building up the ir_maps instance for the
//! enclosing function.  On the way down the tree, it identifies those AST
//! nodes and variable IDs that will be needed for the liveness analysis
//! and assigns them contiguous IDs.  The liveness id for an AST node is
//! called a `live_node` (it's a newtype'd u32) and the id for a variable
//! is called a `variable` (another newtype'd u32).
//!
//! On the way back up the tree, as we are about to exit from a function
//! declaration we allocate a `liveness` instance.  Now that we know
//! precisely how many nodes and variables we need, we can allocate all
//! the various arrays that we will need to precisely the right size.  We then
//! perform the actual propagation on the `liveness` instance.
//!
//! This propagation is encoded in the various `propagate_through_*()`
//! methods.  It effectively does a reverse walk of the AST; whenever we
//! reach a loop node, we iterate until a fixed point is reached.
//!
//! ## The `Users` struct
//!
//! At each live node `N`, we track three pieces of information for each
//! variable `V` (these are encapsulated in the `Users` struct):
//!
//! - `reader`: the `LiveNode` ID of some node which will read the value
//!    that `V` holds on entry to `N`.  Formally: a node `M` such
//!    that there exists a path `P` from `N` to `M` where `P` does not
//!    write `V`.  If the `reader` is `invalid_node()`, then the current
//!    value will never be read (the variable is dead, essentially).
//!
//! - `writer`: the `LiveNode` ID of some node which will write the
//!    variable `V` and which is reachable from `N`.  Formally: a node `M`
//!    such that there exists a path `P` from `N` to `M` and `M` writes
//!    `V`.  If the `writer` is `invalid_node()`, then there is no writer
//!    of `V` that follows `N`.
//!
//! - `used`: a boolean value indicating whether `V` is *used*.  We
//!   distinguish a *read* from a *use* in that a *use* is some read that
//!   is not just used to generate a new value.  For example, `x += 1` is
//!   a read but not a use.  This is used to generate better warnings.
//!
//! ## Special Variables
//!
//! We generate various special variables for various, well, special purposes.
//! These are described in the `specials` struct:
//!
//! - `exit_ln`: a live node that is generated to represent every 'exit' from
//!   the function, whether it be by explicit return, panic, or other means.
//!
//! - `fallthrough_ln`: a live node that represents a fallthrough
//!
//! - `clean_exit_var`: a synthetic variable that is only 'read' from the
//!   fallthrough node.  It is only live if the function could converge
//!   via means other than an explicit `return` expression. That is, it is
//!   only dead if the end of the function's block can never be reached.
//!   It is the responsibility of typeck to ensure that there are no
//!   `return` expressions in a function declared as diverging.

// ______________________________________________________________________
// Creating ir_maps
//
// This is the first pass and the one that drives the main
// computation.  It walks up and down the IR once.  On the way down,
// we count for each function the number of variables as well as
// liveness nodes.  A liveness node is basically an expression or
// capture clause that does something of interest: either it has
// interesting control flow or it uses/defines a local variable.
//
// On the way back up, at each function node we create liveness sets
// (we now know precisely how big to make our various vectors and so
// forth) and then do the data-flow propagation to compute the set
// of live variables at each program point.
//
// Finally, we run back over the IR one last time and, using the
// computed liveness, check various safety conditions.  For example,
// there must be no live nodes at the definition site for a variable
// unless it has an initializer.  Similarly, each non-mutable local
// variable must not be assigned if there is some successor
// assignment.  And so forth.
