The FIR do_loop is designed as a structured operation with a single
block inside it. Presence of unstructured constructs like jumps, exits
inside the loop will cause the loop to be marked as unstructured. These
loops are lowered using the control-flow dialect branch operations.
Fortran semantics do not allow the loop variable to be modified inside
the loop. To prevent accidental modification, the iteration of the
loop is modeled by two variables, trip-count and loop-variable.
-> The trip-count and loop-variable are initialized in the pre-header.
The trip-count is set as (end-start+step)/step where end, start and
step have the usual meanings. The loop-variable is initialized to start.
-> The header block contains a conditional branch instruction which
selects between branching to the body of the loop or the exit block
depending on the value of the trip-count.
-> Inside the body, the trip-count is decremented and the loop-variable
incremented by the step value. Finally it branches to the header of the
loop.
