 * # Compilation of match statements
 *
 * I will endeavor to explain the code as best I can.  I have only a loose
 * understanding of some parts of it.
 *
 * ## Matching
 *
 * The basic state of the code is maintained in an array `m` of `Match`
 * objects.  Each `Match` describes some list of patterns, all of which must
 * match against the current list of values.  If those patterns match, then
 * the arm listed in the match is the correct arm.  A given arm may have
 * multiple corresponding match entries, one for each alternative that
 * remains.  As we proceed these sets of matches are adjusted by the various
 * `enter_XXX()` functions, each of which adjusts the set of options given
 * some information about the value which has been matched.
 *
 * So, initially, there is one value and N matches, each of which have one
 * constituent pattern.  N here is usually the number of arms but may be
 * greater, if some arms have multiple alternatives.  For example, here:
 *
 *     enum Foo { A, B(int), C(uint, uint) }
 *     match foo {
 *         A => ...,
 *         B(x) => ...,
 *         C(1u, 2) => ...,
 *         C(_) => ...
 *     }
 *
 * The value would be `foo`.  There would be four matches, each of which
 * contains one pattern (and, in one case, a guard).  We could collect the
 * various options and then compile the code for the case where `foo` is an
 * `A`, a `B`, and a `C`.  When we generate the code for `C`, we would (1)
 * drop the two matches that do not match a `C` and (2) expand the other two
 * into two patterns each.  In the first case, the two patterns would be `1u`
 * and `2`, and the in the second case the _ pattern would be expanded into
 * `_` and `_`.  The two values are of course the arguments to `C`.
 *
 * Here is a quick guide to the various functions:
 *
 * - `compile_submatch()`: The main workhouse.  It takes a list of values and
 *   a list of matches and finds the various possibilities that could occur.
 *
 * - `enter_XXX()`: modifies the list of matches based on some information
 *   about the value that has been matched.  For example,
 *   `enter_rec_or_struct()` adjusts the values given that a record or struct
 *   has been matched.  This is an infallible pattern, so *all* of the matches
 *   must be either wildcards or record/struct patterns.  `enter_opt()`
 *   handles the fallible cases, and it is correspondingly more complex.
 *
 * ## Bindings
 *
 * We store information about the bound variables for each arm as part of the
 * per-arm `ArmData` struct.  There is a mapping from identifiers to
 * `BindingInfo` structs.  These structs contain the mode/id/type of the
 * binding, but they also contain up to two LLVM values, called `llmatch` and
 * `llbinding` respectively (the `llbinding`, as will be described shortly, is
 * optional and only present for by-value bindings---therefore it is bundled
 * up as part of the `TransBindingMode` type).  Both point at allocas.
 *
 * The `llmatch` binding always stores a pointer into the value being matched
 * which points at the data for the binding.  If the value being matched has
 * type `T`, then, `llmatch` will point at an alloca of type `T*` (and hence
 * `llmatch` has type `T**`).  So, if you have a pattern like:
 *
 *    let a: A = ...;
 *    let b: B = ...;
 *    match (a, b) { (ref c, d) => { ... } }
 *
 * For `c` and `d`, we would generate allocas of type `C*` and `D*`
 * respectively.  These are called the `llmatch`.  As we match, when we come
 * up against an identifier, we store the current pointer into the
 * corresponding alloca.
 *
 * In addition, for each by-value binding (copy or move), we will create a
 * second alloca (`llbinding`) that will hold the final value.  In this
 * example, that means that `d` would have this second alloca of type `D` (and
 * hence `llbinding` has type `D*`).
 *
 * Once a pattern is completely matched, and assuming that there is no guard
 * pattern, we will branch to a block that leads to the body itself.  For any
 * by-value bindings, this block will first load the ptr from `llmatch` (the
 * one of type `D*`) and copy/move the value into `llbinding` (the one of type
 * `D`).  The second alloca then becomes the value of the local variable.  For
 * by ref bindings, the value of the local variable is simply the first
 * alloca.
 *
 * So, for the example above, we would generate a setup kind of like this:
 *
 *        +-------+
 *        | Entry |
 *        +-------+
 *            |
 *        +-------------------------------------------+
 *        | llmatch_c = (addr of first half of tuple) |
 *        | llmatch_d = (addr of first half of tuple) |
 *        +-------------------------------------------+
 *            |
 *        +--------------------------------------+
 *        | *llbinding_d = **llmatch_dlbinding_d |
 *        +--------------------------------------+
 *
 * If there is a guard, the situation is slightly different, because we must
 * execute the guard code.  Moreover, we need to do so once for each of the
 * alternatives that lead to the arm, because if the guard fails, they may
 * have different points from which to continue the search. Therefore, in that
 * case, we generate code that looks more like:
 *
 *        +-------+
 *        | Entry |
 *        +-------+
 *            |
 *        +-------------------------------------------+
 *        | llmatch_c = (addr of first half of tuple) |
 *        | llmatch_d = (addr of first half of tuple) |
 *        +-------------------------------------------+
 *            |
 *        +-------------------------------------------------+
 *        | *llbinding_d = **llmatch_dlbinding_d            |
 *        | check condition                                 |
 *        | if false { free *llbinding_d, goto next case }  |
 *        | if true { goto body }                           |
 *        +-------------------------------------------------+
 *
 * The handling for the cleanups is a bit... sensitive.  Basically, the body
 * is the one that invokes `add_clean()` for each binding.  During the guard
 * evaluation, we add temporary cleanups and revoke them after the guard is
 * evaluated (it could fail, after all).  Presuming the guard fails, we drop
 * the various values we copied explicitly.  Note that guards and moves are
 * just plain incompatible.
 *
 * Some relevant helper functions that manage bindings:
 * - `create_bindings_map()`
 * - `store_non_ref_bindings()`
 * - `insert_lllocals()`
 *
 *
 * ## Notes on vector pattern matching.
 *
 * Vector pattern matching is surprisingly tricky. The problem is that
 * the structure of the vector isn't fully known, and slice matches
 * can be done on subparts of it.
 *
 * The way that vector pattern matches are dealt with, then, is as
 * follows. First, we make the actual condition associated with a
 * vector pattern simply a vector length comparison. So the pattern
 * [1, .. x] gets the condition "vec len >= 1", and the pattern
 * [.. x] gets the condition "vec len >= 0". The problem here is that
 * having the condition "vec len >= 1" hold clearly does not mean that
 * only a pattern that has exactly that condition will match. This
 * means that it may well be the case that a condition holds, but none
 * of the patterns matching that condition match; to deal with this,
 * when doing vector length matches, we have match failures proceed to
 * the next condition to check.
 *
 * There are a couple more subtleties to deal with. While the "actual"
 * condition associated with vector length tests is simply a test on
 * the vector length, the actual vec_len Opt entry contains more
 * information used to restrict which matches are associated with it.
 * So that all matches in a submatch are matching against the same
 * values from inside the vector, they are split up by how many
 * elements they match at the front and at the back of the vector. In
 * order to make sure that arms are properly checked in order, even
 * with the overmatching conditions, each vec_len Opt entry is
 * associated with a range of matches.
 * Consider the following:
 *
 *   match &[1, 2, 3] {
 *       [1, 1, .. _] => 0,
 *       [1, 2, 2, .. _] => 1,
 *       [1, 2, 3, .. _] => 2,
 *       [1, 2, .. _] => 3,
 *       _ => 4
 *   }
 * The proper arm to match is arm 2, but arms 0 and 3 both have the
 * condition "len >= 2". If arm 3 was lumped in with arm 0, then the
 * wrong branch would be taken. Instead, vec_len Opts are associated
 * with a contiguous range of matches that have the same "shape".
 * This is sort of ugly and requires a bunch of special handling of
 * vec_len options.

// <pcwalton> nmatsakis: what does enter_opt do?

//             patterns as needed
// <nmatsakis> yeah, at some point I kind of achieved some level of
//             understanding
// <nmatsakis> anyhow, they adjust the patterns given that something of that
//             kind has been found
// <nmatsakis> pcwalton: ok, right, so enter_XXX() adjusts the patterns, as I
//             said
// <nmatsakis> enter_match() kind of embodies the generic code
// <nmatsakis> it is provided with a function that tests each pattern to see
//             if it might possibly apply and so forth
// <nmatsakis> so, if you have a pattern like {a: _, b: _, _} and one like _
// <nmatsakis> then _ would be expanded to (_, _)
// <nmatsakis> one spot for each of the sub-patterns
// <nmatsakis> enter_opt() is one of the more complex; it covers the fallible
//             cases
// <nmatsakis> enter_rec_or_struct() or enter_tuple() are simpler, since they
//             are infallible patterns
// <nmatsakis> so all patterns must either be records (resp. tuples) or
