10 // This file implements basic block placement transformations using the CFG
11 // structure and branch probability estimates.
12 //
13 // The pass strives to preserve the structure of the CFG (that is, retain
14 // a topological ordering of basic blocks) in the absence of a *strong* signal
15 // to the contrary from probabilities. However, within the CFG structure, it
16 // attempts to choose an ordering which favors placing more likely sequences of
17 // blocks adjacent to each other.
18 //
19 // The algorithm works from the inner-most loop within a function outward, and
20 // at each stage walks through the basic blocks, trying to coalesce them into
21 // sequential chains where allowed by the CFG (or demanded by heavy
22 // probabilities). Finally, it walks the blocks in topological order, and the
23 // first time it reaches a chain of basic blocks, it schedules them in the
24 // function in-order.
