/*
 * Methods related to escape analysis, i.e. determining whether an object
 * allocation is visible outside ('escapes') its immediate method context.
 */

/*
 * Performs escape analysis on the given instruction, typically a reference to an
 * allocation. The method assigns true to parameter 'is_singleton' if the reference
 * is the only name that can refer to its value during the lifetime of the method,
 * meaning that the reference is not aliased with something else, is not stored to
 * heap memory, and not passed to another method. In addition, the method assigns
 * true to parameter 'is_singleton_and_not_returned' if the reference is a singleton
 * and not returned to the caller and to parameter 'is_singleton_and_not_deopt_visible'
 * if the reference is a singleton and not used as an environment local of an
 * HDeoptimize instruction (clients of the final value must run after BCE to ensure
 * all such instructions have been introduced already).
 *
 * Note that being visible to a HDeoptimize instruction does not count for ordinary
 * escape analysis, since switching between compiled code and interpreted code keeps
 * non escaping references restricted to the lifetime of the method and the thread
 * executing it. This property only concerns optimizations that are interested in
 * escape analysis with respect to the *compiled* code (such as LSE).
 *
 * When set, the no_escape function is applied to any use of the allocation instruction
 * prior to any built-in escape analysis. This allows clients to define better escape
 * analysis in certain case-specific circumstances. If 'no_escape(reference, user)'
 * returns true, the user is assumed *not* to cause any escape right away. The return
 * value false means the client cannot provide a definite answer and built-in escape
 * analysis is applied to the user instead.
