* Flatten control flow pass (#999)Alon Zakai2017-05-101-0/+471
This pass flattens out control flow in order to achieve 2 properties: * Control flow structures (block, loop, if) and control flow operations (br, br_if, br_table, return, unreachable) may only be block children, a loop body, or an if-true or if-false. (I.e., they cannot be nested inside an i32.add, a drop, a call, an if-condition, etc.) * Disallow block, loop, and if return values, i.e., do not use control flow to pass around values. As a result, expressions cannot contain control flow, and overall control flow is simpler, more structured, and more "flat". This should make things like re-relooping wasm code much easier, as they can run after the cfg is flattened
