// This pass removes unnecessary copies/moves in BBs based on a dominating
// condition.
//
// We handle three cases:
// 1. For BBs that are targets of CBZ/CBNZ instructions, we know the value of
//    the CBZ/CBNZ source register is zero on the taken/not-taken path. For
//    instance, the copy instruction in the code below can be removed because
//    the CBZW jumps to %bb.2 when w0 is zero.
//
//  %bb.1:
//    cbz w0, .LBB0_2
//  .LBB0_2:
//    mov w0, wzr  ; <-- redundant
//
// 2. If the flag setting instruction defines a register other than WZR/XZR, we
//    can remove a zero copy in some cases.
//
//  %bb.0:
//    subs w0, w1, w2
//    str w0, [x1]
//    b.ne .LBB0_2
//  %bb.1:
//    mov w0, wzr  ; <-- redundant
//    str w0, [x2]
//  .LBB0_2
//
// 3. Finally, if the flag setting instruction is a comparison against a
//    constant (i.e., ADDS[W|X]ri, SUBS[W|X]ri), we can remove a mov immediate
//    in some cases.
//
//  %bb.0:
//    subs xzr, x0, #1
//    b.eq .LBB0_1
//  .LBB0_1:
//    orr x0, xzr, #0x1  ; <-- redundant
//
// This pass should be run after register allocation.
//
// FIXME: This could also be extended to check the whole dominance subtree below
// the comparison if the compile time regression is acceptable.
//
// FIXME: Add support for handling CCMP instructions.
// FIXME: If the known register value is zero, we should be able to rewrite uses
//        to use WZR/XZR directly in some cases.
