//! \file
//! This pass performs merges of loads and stores on both sides of a
//  diamond (hammock). It hoists the loads and sinks the stores.
//
// The algorithm iteratively hoists two loads to the same address out of a
// diamond (hammock) and merges them into a single load in the header. Similar
// it sinks and merges two stores to the tail block (footer). The algorithm
// iterates over the instructions of one side of the diamond and attempts to
// find a matching load/store on the other side. New tail/footer block may be
// insterted if the tail/footer block has more predecessors (not only the two
// predecessors that are forming the diamond). It hoists / sinks when it thinks
// it safe to do so.  This optimization helps with eg. hiding load latencies,
// triggering if-conversion, and reducing static code size.
//
// NOTE: This code no longer performs load hoisting, it is subsumed by GVNHoist.
//
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

// Example:
// Diamond shaped code before merge:
//
//            header:
//                     br %cond, label %if.then, label %if.else
