// This file implements dead inst elimination and dead code elimination.
//
// Dead Inst Elimination performs a single pass over the function removing
// instructions that are obviously dead.  Dead Code Elimination is similar, but
// it rechecks instructions that were used by removed instructions to see if
// they are newly dead.
