An instruction that both reads and writes the same variable will read the
variable before writing to it, so the instruction uses the variable rather
than defines it (for live-variable purposes).
First, it turns out using daglabels wasn't such a workable plan (due to
labels being flushed every sblock). Instead, flowvars are used. Each actual
variable (whether normal or temp) has a pointer to the flowvar attached to
that variable.
For each variable, the statements that use or define the variable are
recorded in the appropriate set attached to each (flow)variable.
The flow graph nodes are now properly separated from the graph, and edge
information is stored in the graph struct. This actually made for much
cleaner code (partly thanks to the use of sets and set iterators).
Flow graph reduction has been (temporarily) ripped out as the entire
approach was wrong. There was also a bug in that I didn't really understand
the dragon book about selecting nodes and thus messed things up. The
depth-first search tree "fixed" the problem, but was really the wrong
solution (sledge hammer :P).
Also, now that I understand that dot's directed graphs must be acyclic, I
now have much better control over the graphs (back edges need to be
flipped).
It turns out dot does not like cyclic graphs (thus some of the weird
layouts), but fixing it by flipping back-edges requires proper recording of
edge info (I guess that's what T is for in the dragon book).
The reduction is performed itteratively until the graph is irreducible, but
such that each reduction wraps the previous graph. Unfortunately, due
depth-first searching not being implemented, graphs that should be reduced
(ie, those with natural loops).
set_first() now returns a pointer to a setstate_t struct that holds the
state necessary for scanning a set. set_next() will automatically delete
the state block when the end of the set is reached. set_delstate() is also
provided to allow early termination of the scan.
They're now dot_sblock.c and print_sblock. The new names both better
reflect their purpose and free up "flow" for outputting the real flow
analysis graphs.
Much of the data recently added to sblock_t has been moved to flownode_t.
No graph reduction is carried out yet, but the initial (innermost level)
graph has been built.
Dot interprets escape sequences in non-html string, and needs the quotes to
be escaped, so quote the result of operand_string. Unfortunately,
operand_string uses quote_string and quote_string returns a static pointer,
so some hoop-jumping is necessary.
