rustc_mir_transform/
dead_store_elimination.rs

1//! This module implements a dead store elimination (DSE) routine.
2//!
3//! This transformation was written specifically for the needs of dest prop. Although it is
4//! perfectly sound to use it in any context that might need it, its behavior should not be changed
5//! without analyzing the interaction this will have with dest prop. Specifically, in addition to
6//! the soundness of this pass in general, dest prop needs it to satisfy two additional conditions:
7//!
8//!  1. It's idempotent, meaning that running this pass a second time immediately after running it a
9//!     first time will not cause any further changes.
10//!  2. This idempotence persists across dest prop's main transform, in other words inserting any
11//!     number of iterations of dest prop between the first and second application of this transform
12//!     will still not cause any further changes.
