/**
* Optimizer stage that tries to replace repeated assignments to
* existing variables by declarations of new variables as much as
* possible.
* The reassignments are still there, but all references to the
* reassigned variables are replaced by the newly declared variables.
*
* Example:
* {
* let a := 1
* mstore(a, 2)
* a := 3
* }
* is transformed to
* {
* let a_1 := 1
* let a := a_1
* mstore(a_1, 2)
* let a_3 := 3
* a := a_3
* }
*
* Exact semantics:
*
* For any variable a that is assigned to somewhere in the code (assignment with
* declaration does not count) perform the following transforms:
* - replace "let a := v" by "let a_1 := v let a := a_1"
* - replace "a := v" by "let a_1 := v a := a_1"
* Furthermore, always note the current variable/value assigned to a and replace each
* reference to a by this variable.
* The current value mapping is cleared for a variable a at the end of each block
* in which it was assigned. We compensate that by appending a declaration
* of the form of "let a_1 := a" right after the location where control flow joins so
* variable references can use the SSA variable. The only exception to this rule are
* for loop conditions, as we cannot insert a variable declaration there.
*
* After this stage, redundantAssignmentRemover is recommended to remove the unnecessary
* intermediate assignments.
*
* This stage provides best results if CSE is run right before it, because
* then it does not generate excessive amounts of variables.
*
* The transform is implemented in three stages. All stages are only concerned
* with variables that are assigned somewhere in the code (excluding declarations).
* The first stage inserts new SSA variables for each declaration and assignment of
* such variables.
* The second stage inserts new SSA variables at control flow joins.
* The last stage replaces references to variables that are assigned to somewhere in the
* code by their current SSA variable.
*
* TODO Which transforms are required to keep this idempotent?
*
* Prerequisite: Disambiguator, ForLoopInitRewriter.
