/*!
 * 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 uint) and the id for a variable
 * is called a `variable` (another newtype'd uint).
 *
 * 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, fail, or other means.
 *
 * - `fallthrough_ln`: a live node that represents a fallthrough
 *
 * - `no_ret_var`: a synthetic variable that is only 'read' from, the
 *   fallthrough node.  This allows us to detect functions where we fail
 *   to return explicitly.

// ______________________________________________________________________
// 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.
