     24 ///  for (...)                  if (lic)
     25 ///    A                          for (...)

     31 /// This can increase the size of the code exponentially (doubling it every time
     32 /// a loop is unswitched) so we only unswitch if the resultant code will be
     33 /// smaller than a threshold.
     34 ///
     35 /// This pass expects LICM to be run before it to hoist invariant conditions out
     36 /// of the loop, to make the unswitching opportunity obvious.
     37 ///
     38 /// There is a taxonomy of unswitching that we use to classify different forms
     39 /// of this transformaiton:
     40 ///
     41 /// - Trival unswitching: this is when the condition can be unswitched without
     42 ///   cloning any code from inside the loop. A non-trivial unswitch requires
     43 ///   code duplication.
     44 ///
     45 /// - Full unswitching: this is when the branch or switch is completely moved
     46 ///   from inside the loop to outside the loop. Partial unswitching removes the
     47 ///   branch from the clone of the loop but must leave a (somewhat simplified)
     48 ///   branch in the original loop. While theoretically partial unswitching can
     49 ///   be done for switches, the requirements are extreme - we need the loop
     50 ///   invariant input to the switch to be sufficient to collapse to a single
     51 ///   successor in each clone.
     52 ///
     53 /// This pass always does trivial, full unswitching for both branches and
     54 /// switches. For branches, it also always does trivial, partial unswitching.
     55 ///
     56 /// If enabled (via the constructor's `NonTrivial` parameter), this pass will
     57 /// additionally do non-trivial, full unswitching for branches and switches, and
     58 /// will do non-trivial, partial unswitching for branches.
     59 ///
     60 /// Because partial unswitching of switches is extremely unlikely to be possible
     61 /// in practice and significantly complicates the implementation, this pass does
     62 /// not currently implement that in any mode.
