10// This pass is an extremely simple version of the SimplifyCFG pass.  Its sole
11// job is to delete LLVM basic blocks that are not reachable from the entry
12// node.  To do this, it performs a simple depth first traversal of the CFG,
13// then deletes any unvisited nodes.
14//
15// Note that this pass is really a hack.  In particular, the instruction
16// selectors for various targets should just not generate code for unreachable
17// blocks.  Until LLVM has a more systematic way of defining instruction
18// selectors, however, we cannot really expect them to handle additional
19// complexity.
