(** Liveness analysis over RTL *)
(** A register [r] is live at a point [p] if there exists a path from [p] to some instruction that uses [r] as argument, and [r] is not redefined along this path. Liveness can be computed by a backward dataflow analysis. The analysis operates over sets of (live) pseudo-registers. *)
Notation reg_live := Regset.add.
Notation reg_dead := Regset.remove.
Definition reg_option_live (or: option reg) (lv: Regset.t) :=
match or with None => lv | Some r => reg_live r lv end.
Definition reg_sum_live (ros: reg + ident) (lv: Regset.t) :=
match ros with inl r => reg_live r lv | inr s => lv end.

(** Here is the transfer function for the dataflow analysis. Since this is a backward dataflow analysis, it takes as argument the abstract register set ``after'' the given instruction, i.e. the registers that are live after; and it returns as result the abstract register set ``before'' the given instruction, i.e. the registers that must be live before. The general relation between ``live before'' and ``live after'' an instruction is that a register is live before if either it is one of the arguments of the instruction, or it is not the result of the instruction and it is live after. However, if the result of a side-effect-free instruction is not live ``after'', the whole instruction will be removed later (since it computes a useless result), thus its arguments need not be live ``before''. *)
