During structurization process, we may place non-predecessor blocks
between the predecessors of a block in the structurized CFG. Take
the typical while-break case as an example:
|
/---A(v=...)
| / \
^ B C
| \ /|
\---L |
\ /
E (r=phi (v:C)...)
After structurization, the CFG would be look like:
|
/---A
| |\
| | C
| |/
| F1
^ |\
| | B
| |/
| F2
| |\
| | L
\ |/
\--F3
|
E
We can see that block B is placed between the predecessors(C/L) of E.
During phi reconstruction, to achieve the same sematics as before, we
are reconstructing the PHIs as:
F1: v1 = phi (v:C), (undef:A)
F3: r = phi (v1:F2), ...
But this is also saying that `v1` would be live through B, which is not
quite necessary. The idea in the change is to say the incoming value
from B is Undef for the PHI in E. With this change, the reconstructed
PHI would be:
F1: v1 = phi (v:C), (undef:A)
F2: v2 = phi (v1:F1), (undef:B)
F3: r = phi (v2:F2), ...
