//
// Overview:
// ---------
// Function Specialization is a transformation which propagates the constant
// parameters of a function call from the caller to the callee. It is part of
// the Inter-Procedural Sparse Conditional Constant Propagation (IPSCCP) pass.
// The transformation runs iteratively a number of times which is controlled
// by the option `funcspec-max-iters`. Running it multiple times is needed
// for specializing recursive functions, but also exposes new opportunities
// arising from specializations which return constant values or contain calls
// which can be specialized.
//
// Function Specialization supports propagating constant parameters like
// function pointers, literal constants and addresses of global variables.
// By propagating function pointers, indirect calls become direct calls. This
// exposes inlining opportunities which we would have otherwise missed. That's
// why function specialization is run before the inliner in the optimization
// pipeline; that is by design.
//
// Cost Model:
// -----------
// The cost model facilitates a utility for estimating the specialization bonus
// from propagating a constant argument. This is the InstCostVisitor, a class
// that inherits from the InstVisitor. The bonus itself is expressed as codesize
// and latency savings. Codesize savings means the amount of code that becomes
// dead in the specialization from propagating the constant, whereas latency
// savings represents the cycles we are saving from replacing instructions with
// constant values. The InstCostVisitor overrides a set of `visit*` methods to
// be able to handle different types of instructions. These attempt to constant-
// fold the instruction in which case a constant is returned and propagated
// further.
//
// Function pointers are not handled by the InstCostVisitor. They are treated
// separately as they could expose inlining opportunities via indirect call
// promotion. The inlining bonus contributes to the total specialization score.
//
// For a specialization to be profitable its bonus needs to exceed a minimum
// threshold. There are three options for controlling the threshold which are
// expressed as percentages of the original function size:
//  * funcspec-min-codesize-savings
//  * funcspec-min-latency-savings
//  * funcspec-min-inlining-bonus
// There's also an option for controlling the codesize growth from recursive
// specializations. That is `funcspec-max-codesize-growth`.
//
// Once we have all the potential specializations with their score we need to
// choose the best ones, which fit in the module specialization budget. That
// is controlled by the option `funcspec-max-clones`. To find the best `NSpec`
// specializations we use a max-heap. For more details refer to D139346.
//
// Ideas:
// ------
// - With a function specialization attribute for arguments, we could have
//   a direct way to steer function specialization, avoiding the cost-model,
//   and thus control compile-times / code-size.
//
// - Perhaps a post-inlining function specialization pass could be more
//   aggressive on literal constants.
