[ignition] More accurate dead statement elision
The Ignition statement list visitor will skip the rest of the statements in the list if it hits a jump statement (like a return or break), as the rest of the code in the list can be considered dead. return; dead_call(); // skipped However, since this is at an AST node level, it does not take into account condition shortcutting: if(2.2) return; dead_call(); // not skipped There is also a second dead code elimination in Ignition compilation, at the bytecode array writer level, where a bytecodes are not emitted if an "exit" bytecode (Return, Jump, or a few others) has been written, until the next basic block starts (i.e. a Bind). This can cause an issue with statements that resurrect the bytecode array writer part-way through their visit. An example is try-catch statements, which save the context to a register, and then Bind to start the try region. For the case: if (2.2) return; try { // try statement not skipped ... } the bytecode writer is called with OutputReturn() // exit bytecode seen OutputMove(<context>, r1) // not emitted Bind(&try_begin) // starts new basic block // try body So, the try is emitted, but without saving the context to a register. This means that the liveness analysis sees the read of that register (as the output liveness of throwing bytecodes), but does not have a write to the register, which means that the liveness escapes. This patch fixes this by using the bytecode array writer dead-code elimination (i.e. "exit bytecode seen") to inform the statement list visitor, so that in this example the try statement is not visited at all.
