// This file implements an algorithm that returns for a divergent branch
// the set of basic blocks whose phi nodes become divergent due to divergent
// control. These are the blocks that are reachable by two disjoint paths from
// the branch or loop exits that have a reaching path that is disjoint from a
// path to the loop latch.
//
// The SyncDependenceAnalysis is used in the DivergenceAnalysis to model
// control-induced divergence in phi nodes.
//
//
// -- Reference --
// The algorithm is presented in Section 5 of 
//
//   An abstract interpretation for SPMD divergence
//       on reducible control flow graphs.
//   Julian Rosemann, Simon Moll and Sebastian Hack
//   POPL '21
//
//
// -- Sync dependence --
// Sync dependence characterizes the control flow aspect of the
// propagation of branch divergence. For example,
//
//   %cond = icmp slt i32 %tid, 10
//   br i1 %cond, label %then, label %else
// then:
//   br label %merge
// else:
//   br label %merge
// merge:
//   %a = phi i32 [ 0, %then ], [ 1, %else ]
//
// Suppose %tid holds the thread ID. Although %a is not data dependent on %tid
// because %tid is not on its use-def chains, %a is sync dependent on %tid
// because the branch "br i1 %cond" depends on %tid and affects which value %a
// is assigned to.
//
//
// -- Reduction to SSA construction --
// There are two disjoint paths from A to X, if a certain variant of SSA
// construction places a phi node in X under the following set-up scheme.
//
// This variant of SSA construction ignores incoming undef values.
// That is paths from the entry without a definition do not result in
// phi nodes.
//
//       entry
//     /      \
//    A        \
//  /   \       Y
// B     C     /
//  \   /  \  /
//    D     E
//     \   /
//       F
//
// Assume that A contains a divergent branch. We are interested
// in the set of all blocks where each block is reachable from A
// via two disjoint paths. This would be the set {D, F} in this
// case.
// To generally reduce this query to SSA construction we introduce
// a virtual variable x and assign to x different values in each
// successor block of A.
//
//           entry
//         /      \
//        A        \
//      /   \       Y
// x = 0   x = 1   /
//      \  /   \  /
//        D     E
//         \   /
//           F
//
// Our flavor of SSA construction for x will construct the following
//
//            entry
//          /      \
//         A        \
//       /   \       Y
// x0 = 0   x1 = 1  /
//       \   /   \ /
//     x2 = phi   E
//         \     /
//         x3 = phi
//
// The blocks D and F contain phi nodes and are thus each reachable
// by two disjoins paths from A.
//
// -- Remarks --
// * In case of loop exits we need to check the disjoint path criterion for loops.
//   To this end, we check whether the definition of x differs between the
//   loop exit and the loop header (_after_ SSA construction).
//
// -- Known Limitations & Future Work --
// * The algorithm requires reducible loops because the implementation
//   implicitly performs a single iteration of the underlying data flow analysis.
//   This was done for pragmatism, simplicity and speed.
//
//   Relevant related work for extending the algorithm to irreducible control:
//     A simple algorithm for global data flow analysis problems.
//     Matthew S. Hecht and Jeffrey D. Ullman.
//     SIAM Journal on Computing, 4(4):519–532, December 1975.
//
// * Another reason for requiring reducible loops is that points of
//   synchronization in irreducible loops aren't 'obvious' - there is no unique
//   header where threads 'should' synchronize when entering or coming back
//   around from the latch.
