//
// This pass tries to make consecutive compares of values use same operands to
// allow CSE pass to remove duplicated instructions.  For this it analyzes
// branches and adjusts comparisons with immediate values by converting:
//  * GE -> GT
//  * GT -> GE
//  * LT -> LE
//  * LE -> LT
// and adjusting immediate values appropriately.  It basically corrects two
// immediate values towards each other to make them equal.
//
// Consider the following example in C:
//
//   if ((a < 5 && ...) || (a > 5 && ...)) {
//        ~~~~~             ~~~~~
//          ^                 ^
//          x                 y
//
// Here both "x" and "y" expressions compare "a" with "5".  When "x" evaluates
// to "false", "y" can just check flags set by the first comparison.  As a
// result of the canonicalization employed by
// SelectionDAGBuilder::visitSwitchCase, DAGCombine, and other target-specific
// code, assembly ends up in the form that is not CSE friendly:
//
//     ...
//     cmp      w8, #4
//     b.gt     .LBB0_3
//     ...
//   .LBB0_3:
//     cmp      w8, #6
//     b.lt     .LBB0_6
//     ...
//
// Same assembly after the pass:
//
//     ...
//     cmp      w8, #5
//     b.ge     .LBB0_3
//     ...
//   .LBB0_3:
//     cmp      w8, #5     // <-- CSE pass removes this instruction
//     b.le     .LBB0_6
//     ...
//
// Currently only SUBS and ADDS followed by b.?? are supported.
//
// TODO: maybe handle TBNZ/TBZ the same way as CMP when used instead for "a < 0"
// TODO: handle other conditional instructions (e.g. CSET)
// TODO: allow second branching to be anything if it doesn't require adjusting
//
