//
// This specialises functions with constant parameters. Constant parameters
// like function pointers and constant globals are propagated to the callee by
// specializing the function. The main benefit of this pass at the moment is
// that indirect calls are transformed into direct calls, which provides inline
// opportunities that the inliner would not have been able to achieve. That's
// why function specialisation is run before the inliner in the optimisation
// pipeline; that is by design. Otherwise, we would only benefit from constant
// passing, which is a valid use-case too, but hasn't been explored much in
// terms of performance uplifts, cost-model and compile-time impact.
//
// Current limitations:
// - It does not yet handle integer ranges. We do support "literal constants",
//   but that's off by default under an option.
// - The cost-model could be further looked into (it mainly focuses on inlining
//   benefits),
//
// Ideas:
// - With a function specialization attribute for arguments, we could have
//   a direct way to steer function specialization, avoiding the cost-model,
//   and thus control compile-times / code-size.
//
// Todos:
// - Specializing recursive functions relies on running the transformation a
//   number of times, which is controlled by option
//   `func-specialization-max-iters`. Thus, increasing this value and the
//   number of iterations, will linearly increase the number of times recursive
//   functions get specialized, see also the discussion in
//   https://reviews.llvm.org/D106426 for details. Perhaps there is a
//   compile-time friendlier way to control/limit the number of specialisations
//   for recursive functions.
// - Don't transform the function if function specialization does not trigger;
//   the SCCPSolver may make IR changes.
