     30 //
     31 //   (1) Entry parameter or a constant live out of the entry computation.  Entry
     32 //       computation arguments and constants have different lifetimes than the
     33 //       computation result and cannot share the same allocation. Parameters and
     34 //       constants live out of non-entry computations do not need copies.
     35 //
     36 //   (2) Different values which are simultaneously live and which must be held
     37 //       in the same buffer. This can occur in while bodies. Specifically, the
     38 //       while loop state (the arguments to the while instruction) is updated
     39 //       in-place and the update may clobber the value from the previous
     40 //       iteration before the previous value is dead. Computations called from
     41 //       kCall instructions do not need such copies because kCall has no update
     42 //       in-place semantics.
     43 //
     44 //   (3) The buffer set of the root instruction of the entry computation must be
     45 //       unambiguous and distinct. That is, InstructionAliasSet::IsAmbiguous and
     46 //       InstructionAliasSet::IsDistinct return true.
