// This file implements a transformation that tries to split a call-site to pass
// more constrained arguments if its argument is predicated in the control flow
// so that we can expose better context to the later passes (e.g, inliner, jump
// threading, or IPA-CP based function cloning, etc.).
// As of now we support two cases :
//
// 1) Try to a split call-site with constrained arguments, if any constraints
// on any argument can be found by following the single predecessors of the
// all site's predecessors. Currently this pass only handles call-sites with 2
// predecessors. For example, in the code below, we try to split the call-site
// since we can predicate the argument(ptr) based on the OR condition.
//
// Split from :
//   if (!ptr || c)
//     callee(ptr);
// to :
//   if (!ptr)
//     callee(null)         // set the known constant value
//   else if (c)
//     callee(nonnull ptr)  // set non-null attribute in the argument
//
// 2) We can also split a call-site based on constant incoming values of a PHI
// For example,
// from :
//   Header:
//    %c = icmp eq i32 %i1, %i2
//    br i1 %c, label %Tail, label %TBB
//   TBB:
//    br label Tail%
//   Tail:
//    %p = phi i32 [ 0, %Header], [ 1, %TBB]
//    call void @bar(i32 %p)
// to
//   Header:
//    %c = icmp eq i32 %i1, %i2
//    br i1 %c, label %Tail-split0, label %TBB
//   TBB:
//    br label %Tail-split1
//   Tail-split0:
//    call void @bar(i32 0)
//    br label %Tail
//   Tail-split1:
//    call void @bar(i32 1)
//    br label %Tail
//   Tail:
//    %p = phi i32 [ 0, %Tail-split0 ], [ 1, %Tail-split1 ]
