<div class="paragraph"><p>The <a href="Shrink">Shrink</a> pass is run after every <a href="SSA">SSA</a> and <a href="SSA2">SSA2</a>
optimization pass.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <a href="Shrink">Shrink</a> implementation also includes functions to eliminate
unreachable blocks from a <a href="SSA">SSA</a> or <a href="SSA2">SSA2</a> program or function.
The <a href="Shrink">Shrink</a> pass does not guarantee to eliminate all unreachable
blocks.  Doing so would unduly complicate the implementation, and it
is almost always the case that all unreachable blocks are eliminated.
However, a small number of optimization passes require that the input
have no unreachable blocks (essentially, when the analysis works on
the control flow graph and the rewrite iterates on the vector of
blocks).  These passes explicitly call <span class="monospaced">eliminateDeadBlocks</span>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <a href="Shrink">Shrink</a> pass has a special case to turn a non-tail call where
the continuation and handler only do <span class="monospaced">Profile</span> statements into a tail
call where the <span class="monospaced">Profile</span> statements precede the tail call.</p></div>
