  35 // The MethodLiveness class performs a simple liveness analysis on a method
  36 // in order to decide which locals are live (that is, will be used again) at
  37 // a particular bytecode index (bci).
  38 //
  39 // The algorithm goes:
  40 //
  41 // 1. Break the method into a set of basic blocks.  For each basic block we
  42 //    also keep track of its set of predecessors through normal control flow
  43 //    and predecessors through exceptional control flow.
  44 //
  45 // 2. For each basic block, compute two sets, gen (the set of values used before
  46 //    they are defined) and kill (the set of values defined before they are used)
  47 //    in the basic block.  A basic block "needs" the locals in its gen set to
  48 //    perform its computation.  A basic block "provides" values for the locals in
  49 //    its kill set, allowing a need from a successor to be ignored.
  50 //
  51 // 3. Liveness information (the set of locals which are needed) is pushed backwards through
  52 //    the program, from blocks to their predecessors.  We compute and store liveness
  53 //    information for the normal/exceptional exit paths for each basic block.  When
  54 //    this process reaches a fixed point, we are done.
