27 // Copy insertion is a legalization HLO pass which inserts copies (kCopy
28 // instructions) to eliminate several kinds of problems in the HLO module.
29 //
30 //   (1) Entry parameter or a constant live out of the entry computation.  Entry
31 //       computation arguments and constants have different lifetimes than the
32 //       computation result and cannot share the same allocation. Parameters and
33 //       constants live out of non-entry computations do not need copies.
34 //
35 //   (2) Different values which are simultaneously live and which must be held
36 //       in the same buffer. This can occur in while bodies. Specifically, the
37 //       while loop state (the arguments to the while instruction) is updated
38 //       in-place and the update may clobber the value from the previous
39 //       iteration before the previous value is dead. Computations called from
40 //       kCall instructions do not need such copies because kCall has no update
41 //       in-place semantics.
42 //
43 //   (3) The buffer set of the root instruction of the entry computation must be
44 //       unambiguous and distinct. That is, InstructionAliasSet::IsAmbiguous and
45 //       InstructionAliasSet::IsDistinct return true.
