// Copyright 2016 The Go Authors. All rights reserved.

// This package constructs a simple control-flow graph (CFG) of the
// statements and expressions within a single function.
//
// Use cfg.New to construct the CFG for a function body.
//
// The blocks of the CFG contain all the function's non-control
// statements. The CFG does not contain control statements such as If,
// Switch, Select, and Branch, but does contain their subexpressions.
// For example, this source code:
//
// if x := f(); x != nil {
// T()
// } else {
// F()
// }
//
// produces this CFG:
//
// 1: x := f()
// x != nil
// succs: 2, 3
// 2: T()
// succs: 4
// 3: F()
// succs: 4
// 4:
//
// The CFG does contain Return statements; even implicit returns are
// materialized (at the position of the function's closing brace).
//
// The CFG does not record conditions associated with conditional branch
// edges, nor the short-circuit semantics of the && and || operators,
// nor abnormal control flow caused by panic. If you need this
// information, use golang.org/x/tools/go/ssa instead.

// A Block represents a basic block: a list of statements and
// expressions that are always evaluated sequentially.
//
// A block may have 0-2 successors: zero for a return block or a block
// that calls a function such as panic that never returns; one for a
// normal (jump) block; and two for a conditional (if) block.

// The CFG builder calls mayReturn to determine whether a given function
// call may return. For example, calls to panic, os.Exit, and log.Fatal
// do not return, so the builder can remove infeasible graph edges
// following such calls. The builder calls mayReturn only for a
// CallExpr beneath an ExprStmt.
