CommonBlock is an optimization pass for the <a href="SSA">SSA</a> <a href="IntermediateLanguage">IntermediateLanguage</a>, invoked from <a href="SSASimplify">SSASimplify</a>. <h2 id="head-55f8ebc805e65b5b71ddafdae390e3be2bcd69af">Description</h2>
<p>
It eliminates equivalent blocks in a <a href="SSA">SSA</a> function. The equivalence criteria requires blocks to have no arguments or statements and transfer via <tt>Raise</tt>, <tt>Return</tt>, or <tt>Goto</tt> of a single global variable.

Rewrites

L_Z (global_Y)
</pre> to the <a href="SSA">SSA</a> function.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The <a href="Shrink">Shrink</a> pass rewrites all uses of <tt>L_X</tt> to <tt>L_Y'</tt> and drops <tt>L_X</tt>.
</p>
<p>
For example, all uncaught <tt>Overflow</tt> exceptions in a <a href="SSA">SSA</a> function share the same raising block.
