* Update CFGWalker to generate consolidated exit blocks (#6079)Thomas Lively2023-11-061-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously CFGWalker designated a particular block as the "exit" block, but it was just the block that happened to appear at the end of the function that returned values by implicitly flowing them out. That exit block was not tied in any way to other blocks that might end in returns, so analyses that needed to perform some action at the end of the function would have had to perform that action at the end of the designated exit block but also separately at any return instruction. Update CFGWalker to make the exit block a synthetic empty block that is a successor of all other blocks tthat implicitly or explicitly return from the function in case there are multiple such blocks, or to make the exit block the single returning block if there is only one. This means that analyses will only perform their end-of-function actions at the end of the exit block rather than additionally at every return instruction.
* [analysis] Make it easier to implement a transfer function (#6077)Thomas Lively2023-11-021-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | Combine the `transfer` and `getDependents` methods of a transfer function so that a transfer function only has to implement `transfer`, which now returns a range of basic blocks that may need to be re-analyzed. To make it easier to implement the returned basic block range, change the requirement so that it provides iterators to `const BasicBlock*` rather than `BasicBlock`. This allows us to entirely remove cfg-impl.h.

* [analysis] Add a new iterable CFG utility (#5712)Thomas Lively2023-05-121-0/+106
Add a new "analysis" source directory that will contain the source for a new static program analysis framework. To start the framework, add a CFG utility that provides convenient iterators for iterating through the basic blocks of the CFG as well as the predecessors, successors, and contents of each block. The new CFGs are constructed using the existing CFGWalker, but they are different in that the new utility is meant to provide a usable representation of a CFG whereas CFGWalker is meant to allow collecting arbitrary information about each basic block in a CFG. For testing and debugging purposes, add `print` methods to CFGs and basic blocks. This requires exposing the ability to print expression contents excluding children, which was something we previously did only for StackIR. Also add a new gtest file with a test for constructing and printing a CFG. The test reveals some strange properties of the current CFG construction, including empty blocks and strange placement of `loop` instructions, but fixing these problems is left as future work.
