     19 /// This pass transforms loops that contain branches or switches on loop-
     20 /// invariant conditions to have multiple loops. For example, it turns the left
     21 /// into the right code:
     22 ///
     23 ///  for (...)                  if (lic)
     24 ///    A                          for (...)
     25 ///    if (lic)                     A; B; C
     26 ///      B                      else
     27 ///    C                          for (...)
     28 ///                                 A; C
     29 ///
     30 /// This can increase the size of the code exponentially (doubling it every time
     31 /// a loop is unswitched) so we only unswitch if the resultant code will be
     32 /// smaller than a threshold.
     33 ///
     34 /// This pass expects LICM to be run before it to hoist invariant conditions out
     35 /// of the loop, to make the unswitching opportunity obvious.
     36 ///
     37 /// There is a taxonomy of unswitching that we use to classify different forms
     38 /// of this transformaiton:
     39 ///
     40 /// - Trival unswitching: this is when the condition can be unswitched without
     41 ///   cloning any code from inside the loop. A non-trivial unswitch requires
     42 ///   code duplication.
     43 ///
     44 /// - Full unswitching: this is when the branch or switch is completely moved
     45 ///   from inside the loop to outside the loop. Partial unswitching removes the
     46 ///   branch from the clone of the loop but must leave a (somewhat simplified)
     47 ///   branch in the original loop. While theoretically partial unswitching can
     48 ///   be done for switches, the requirements are extreme - we need the loop
     49 ///   invariant input to the switch to be sufficient to collapse to a single
     50 ///   successor in each clone.
     51 ///
     52 /// This pass always does trivial, full unswitching for both branches and
     53 /// switches. For branches, it also always does trivial, partial unswitching.
     54 ///
     55 /// If enabled (via the constructor's `NonTrivial` parameter), this pass will
     56 /// additionally do non-trivial, full unswitching for branches and switches, and
     57 /// will do non-trivial, partial unswitching for branches.
     58 ///
     59 /// Because partial unswitching of switches is extremely unlikely to be possible
     60 /// in practice and significantly complicates the implementation, this pass does
     61 /// not currently implement that in any mode.
