// Calculate a program structure tree built out of single entry single exit
// regions.
// The basic ideas are taken from "The Program Structure Tree - Richard Johnson,
// David Pearson, Keshav Pingali - 1994", however enriched with ideas from "The
// Refined Process Structure Tree - Jussi Vanhatalo, Hagen Voelyer, Jana
// Koehler - 2009".
// The algorithm to calculate these data structures however is completely
// different, as it takes advantage of existing information already available
// in (Post)dominace tree and dominance frontier passes. This leads to a simpler
// and in practice hopefully better performing algorithm. The runtime of the
// algorithms described in the papers above are both linear in graph size,
// O(V+E), whereas this algorithm is not, as the dominance frontier information
// itself is not, but in practice runtime seems to be in the order of magnitude
// of dominance tree calculation.

/// @brief A single entry single exit Region.
///
/// A Region is a connected subgraph of a control flow graph that has exactly
/// two connections to the remaining graph. It can be used to analyze or
/// optimize parts of the control flow graph.
///
/// A <em> simple Region </em> is connected to the remaining graph by just two
/// edges. One edge entering the Region and another one leaving the Region.
///
/// An <em> extended Region </em> (or just Region) is a subgraph that can be
/// transform into a simple Region. The transformation is done by adding
/// BasicBlocks that merge several entry or exit edges so that after the merge
/// just one entry and one exit edge exists.
///
/// The \e Entry of a Region is the first BasicBlock that is passed after
/// entering the Region. It is an element of the Region. The entry BasicBlock
/// dominates all BasicBlocks in the Region.
///
/// The \e Exit of a Region is the first BasicBlock that is passed after
/// leaving the Region. It is not an element of the Region. The exit BasicBlock,
/// postdominates all BasicBlocks in the Region.
///
/// A <em> canonical Region </em> cannot be constructed by combining smaller
/// Regions.
///
/// Region A is the \e parent of Region B, if B is completely contained in A.
///
/// Two canonical Regions either do not intersect at all or one is
/// the parent of the other.
///
/// The <em> Program Structure Tree</em> is a graph (V, E) where V is the set of
/// Regions in the control flow graph and E is the \e parent relation of these
/// Regions.
///
/// Example:
///
/// \verbatim
/// A simple control flow graph, that contains two regions.
