49 /* This file implements dead store elimination.
51 A dead store is a store into a memory location which will later be
52 overwritten by another store without any intervening loads. In this
53 case the earlier store can be deleted.
55 In our SSA + virtual operand world we use immediate uses of virtual
56 operands to detect dead stores. If a store's virtual definition
57 is used precisely once by a later store to the same location which
58 post dominates the first store, then the first store is dead.
60 The single use of the store's virtual definition ensures that
61 there are no intervening aliased loads and the requirement that
62 the second load post dominate the first ensures that if the earlier
63 store executes, then the later stores will execute before the function
66 It may help to think of this as first moving the earlier store to
67 the point immediately before the later store. Again, the single
68 use of the virtual definition and the post-dominance relationship
69 ensure that such movement would be safe. Clearly if there are
70 back to back stores, then the second is redundant.
72 Reviewing section 10.7.2 in Morgan's "Building an Optimizing Compiler"
73 may also help in understanding this code since it discusses the
74 relationship between dead store and redundant load elimination. In
75 fact, they are the same transformation applied to different views of
