//
// Our algorithm works by first identifying a subset of nodes that must always
// be instrumented. We call these nodes ambiguous because knowing the coverage
// of all remaining nodes is not enough to infer their coverage status.
//
// In general a node v is ambiguous if there exists two entry-to-terminal paths
// P_1 and P_2 such that:
//   1. v not in P_1 but P_1 visits a predecessor of v, and
//   2. v not in P_2 but P_2 visits a successor of v.
//
// If a node v is not ambiguous, then if condition 1 fails, we can infer v’s
// coverage from the coverage of its predecessors, or if condition 2 fails, we
// can infer v’s coverage from the coverage of its successors.
//
// Sadly, there are example CFGs where it is not possible to infer all nodes
// from the ambiguous nodes alone. Our algorithm selects a minimum number of
// extra nodes to add to the ambiguous nodes to form a valid instrumentation S.
//
// Details on this algorithm can be found in https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.13907
