//===- PRE.cpp - Partial Redundancy Elimination ---------------------------===//
//
// This file implements the well-known Partial Redundancy Elimination
// optimization, using an SSA formulation based on e-paths.  See this paper for
// more information:

//  E-path_PRE: partial redundancy elimination made easy
//  By: Dhananjay M. Dhamdhere   In: ACM SIGPLAN Notices. Vol 37, #8, 2002
//    http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/596992.597004
//
// This file actually implements a sparse version of the algorithm, using SSA
