/**
 * Optimizations within a single method. Certain optimizations enable others, for example removing
 * unreachable code can render a `try` block empty and enable removeEmptyExceptionHandlers. The
 * latter in turn enables more unreachable code to be eliminated (the `catch` block), so there is
 * a cyclic dependency. Optimizations that depend on each other are therefore executed in a loop
 * until reaching a fixpoint.
 *
 * The optimizations marked UPSTREAM enable optimizations that were already executed, so they cause
 * another iteration in the fixpoint loop.
 *
 * nullness optimizations: rewrite null-checking branches to GOTO if nullness is known
 *   + enables downstream
 *     - unreachable code (null / non-null branch becomes unreachable)
 *     - box-unbox elimination (may render an escaping consumer of a box unreachable)
 *     - stale stores (aload x is replaced by aconst_null if it's known null)
 *     - simplify jumps (replaces conditional jumps by goto, so may enable goto chains)
 *
 * unreachable code / DCE (removes instructions of basic blocks to which there is no branch)
 *   + enables downstream:
 *     - stale stores (loads may be eliminated, removing consumers of a store)
 *     - empty handlers (try blocks may become empty)
 *     - simplify jumps (goto l; [dead code]; l: ..) => remove goto
 *     - stale local variable descriptors
 *     - (not box-unbox, which is implemented using prod-cons, so it doesn't consider dead code)
 *
 *   note that eliminating empty handlers and stale local variable descriptors is required for
 *   correctness, see the comment in the body of `methodOptimizations`.
 *
 * box-unbox elimination (eliminates box-unbox pairs withing the same method)
 *   + enables UPSTREAM:
 *     - nullness optimizations (a box extraction operation (unknown nullness) may be rewritten to
 *       a read of a non-null local. example in doc comment of box-unbox implementation)
 *     - further box-unbox elimination (e.g. an Integer stored in a Tuple; eliminating the tuple may
 *       enable eliminating the Integer)
 *   + enables downstream:
 *     - copy propagation (new locals are introduced, may be aliases of existing)
 *     - stale stores (multi-value boxes where not all values are used)
 *     - redundant casts (`("a", "b")._1`: the generic `_1` method returns `Object`, a cast
 *       to String is added. The cast is redundant after eliminating the tuple.)
 *     - empty local variable descriptors (local variables that were holding the box may become unused)
 *
 * copy propagation (replaces LOAD n to the LOAD m for the smallest m that is an alias of n)
 *   + enables downstrem:
 *     - stale stores (a stored value may not be loaded anymore)
 *     - store-load pairs (a load n may now be right after a store n)
 *   + NOTE: copy propagation is only executed once, in the first fixpoint loop iteration. none of
 *     the other optimizations enables further copy prop. we still run it as part of the loop
 *     because it requires unreachable code to be eliminated.
 *
 * stale stores (replace STORE by POP)
 *   + enables downstream:
 *     - push-pop (the new pop may be the single consumer for an instruction)
 *
 * redundant casts: eliminates casts that are statically known to succeed (uses type propagation)
 *   + enables UPSTREAM:
 *     - box-unbox elimination (a removed checkcast may be a box consumer)
 *   + enables downstream:
 *     - push-pop for closure allocation elimination (every indyLambda is followed by a checkcast, see SI-9540)
 *
 * push-pop (when a POP is the only consumer of a value, remove the POP and its producer)
 *   + enables UPSTREAM:
 *     - stale stores (if a LOAD is removed, a corresponding STORE may become stale)
 *     - box-unbox elimination (push-pop may eliminate a closure allocation, rendering a captured
 *       box non-escaping)
 *   + enables downstream:
 *     - store-load pairs (a variable may become non-live)
 *     - stale handlers (push-pop removes code)
 *     - simplify jumps (push-pop removes code)
 *
 * store-load pairs (remove `STORE x; LOAD x` if x is otherwise not used in the method)
 *   + enables downstream:
 *     - empty handlers (code is removes, a try block may become empty
 *     - simplify jumps (code is removed, a goto may become redundant for example)
 *     - stale local variable descriptors
 *
 * empty handlers (removes exception handlers whose try block is empty)
 *   + enables UPSTREAM:
 *     - unreachable code (catch block becomes unreachable)
 *     - box-unbox (a box may be escape in an operation in a dead handler)
 *   + enables downstream:
 *     - simplify jumps
 *
 * simplify jumps (various, like `GOTO l; l: ...`, see doc comments of individual optimizations)
 *   + enables UPSTREAM
 *     - unreachable code (`GOTO a; a: GOTO b; b: ...`, the first jump is changed to `GOTO b`, the second becomes unreachable)
 *     - store-load pairs (a `GOTO l; l: ...` is removed between store and load)
 *     - push-pop (`IFNULL l; l: ...` is replaced by `POP`)
 *
 *
 * The following cleanup optimizations don't enable any upstream optimizations, so they can be
 * executed once at the end, when the above optimizations reach a fixpoint.
 *
 *
 * empty local variable descriptors (removes unused variables from the local variable table)
 *   + enables downstream:
 *     - stale labels (labels that the entry points to, if not otherwise referenced)
 *
 * empty line numbers (eliminates line number nodes that describe no executable instructions)
 *   + enables downstream:
 *     - stale labels (label of the line number node, if not otherwise referenced)
 *
 * stale labels (eliminate labels that are not referenced, merge sequences of label definitions)
 *
 *
 * Note on a method's maxLocals / maxStack: the backend only uses those values for running
 * Analyzers. The values can be conservative approximations: if an optimization removes code and
 * the maximal stack size is now smaller, the larger maxStack value will still work fine for
 * running an Analyzer (just that frames allocate more space than required). The correct max
 * values written to the bytecode are re-computed during classfile serialization.
 * To keep things simpler, we don't update the max values in every optimization:
 *   - we do it in `removeUnreachableCodeImpl`, because it's quite straightforward
 *   - maxLocals is updated in `compactLocalVariables`, which runs at the end of method optimizations
 *
 *
 * Note on updating the call graph: whenever an optimization eliminates a callsite or a closure
 * instantiation, we eliminate the corresponding entry from the call graph.
