// This file defines a pass that optimizes condition branches on x86 by taking
// advantage of the three-way conditional code generated by compare
// instructions.
// Currently, it tries to hoisting EQ and NE conditional branch to a dominant
// conditional branch condition where the same EQ/NE conditional code is
// computed. An example:
//   bb_0:
//     cmp %0, 19
//     jg bb_1
//     jmp bb_2
//   bb_1:
//     cmp %0, 40
//     jg bb_3
//     jmp bb_4
//   bb_4:
//     cmp %0, 20
//     je bb_5
//     jmp bb_6
// Here we could combine the two compares in bb_0 and bb_4 and have the
// following code:
//   bb_0:
//     cmp %0, 20
//     jg bb_1
//     jl bb_2
//     jmp bb_5
//   bb_1:
//     cmp %0, 40
//     jg bb_3
//     jmp bb_6
// For the case of %0 == 20 (bb_5), we eliminate two jumps, and the control
// height for bb_6 is also reduced. bb_4 is gone after the optimization.
//
// There are plenty of this code patterns, especially from the switch case
// lowing where we generate compare of "pivot-1" for the inner nodes in the
// binary search tree.
