*** Ideas for imrovement:
***
 Handle construction of exceptions more comfortable:
 Add new constructors that pass the exception region (or better the
 Phi for the memories, the ex. region can be found from there) as parameter,
 constructor then adds all Proj nodes and returns the pointer
 to the Proj node that selects the result of the arithmetic operation.

 Maybe hide the exception region in a global variable, especially if
 it is always unambiguous.

 *
 *    DATATYPES
 *    =========
 *
 *    The struct ir_graph
 *    -------------------
 *
 *      This struct contains all information about a procedure.
 *      It's allocated directly to memory.
 *
 *      The fields of ir_graph:
 *
 *      *ent             The entity describing this procedure.
 *
 *      The beginning and end of a graph:
 *
 *      *start_block     This ir_node is the block that contains the unique
 *                       start node of the procedure.  With it it contains
 *                       the Proj's on starts results.
 *                       Further all Const nodes are placed in the start block.
 *      *start           This ir_node is the unique start node of the procedure.
 *
 *      *end_block       This ir_node is the block that contains the unique
 *                       end node of the procedure.  This block contains no
 *                       further nodes.
 *      *end             This ir_node is the unique end node of the procedure.
 *
 *      The following nodes are Projs from the start node, held in ir_graph for
 *      simple access:
 *
 *      *frame           The ir_node producing the pointer to the stack frame of
 *                       the procedure as output.  This is the Proj node on the
 *                       third output of the start node.  This output of the start
 *                       node is tagged as pns_frame_base.  In FIRM most lokal
 *                       variables are modeled as data flow edges.  Static
 *                       allocated arrays can not be represented as dataflow
 *                       edges. Therefore FIRM has to represent them in the stack
 *                       frame.
 *
 *      *globals             This models a pointer to a space in the memory where
 *                   _all_ global things are held.  Select from this pointer
 *                   with a Sel node the pointer to a global variable /
 *                   procedure / compiler known function... .
 *
 *      *args        The ir_node that produces the arguments of the method as
 *                   it's result.  This is a Proj node on the fourth output of
 *                   the start node.  This output is tagged as pns_args.
 *
 *      *bad             The bad node is an auxiliary node. It is needed only once,
 *                       so there is this globally reachable node.
 *
 *      Datastructures that are private to a graph:
 *
 *      *obst            An obstack that contains all nodes.
 *
 *      *current_block   A pointer to the current block.  Any node created with
 *                       one of the node constructors (new_<opcode>) are assigned
 *                       to this block.  It can be set with switch_block(block).
 *                       Only needed for ir construction.
 *
 *      params/n_loc     An int giving the number of local variables in this
 *                   procedure.  This is neede for ir construction. Name will
 *                   be changed.
 *
 *      *value_table     This hash table (pset) is used for global value numbering
 *                   for optimizing use in iropt.c.
 *
 *      *Phi_in_stack;   a stack needed for automatic Phi construction, needed only
 *                   during ir construction.
 *
 *      visited          A int used as flag to traverse the ir_graph.
 *
 *      block_visited    A int used as a flag to traverse block nodes in the graph.
 *
 *    Three kinds of nodes
 *    --------------------
 *
 *      There are three kinds of nodes known to the ir:  entities,
 *      types, and ir_nodes
 *
 *      + ir_nodes are the actual nodes of the FIRM intermediate representation.
 *        They represent operations on the data of the program and control flow
 *        operations.
 *
 *      + entity ==> implemented in entity.h
 *        Refers to a single entity of the compiled program, e.g. a field of a
 *        class or a method.  If a method or variable can not be assigned to
 *        a method or class or the like, it is a global object.
 *
 *      + types ==> implemented in type.h
 *        With types type information is represented.  There are several type
 *        nodes.
 *
 *    Implementation of the FIRM operations: ir_node
 *    ----------------------------------------------
 *
 *      Ir_nodes represent operations on the data of the program and control flow
 *      operations.  Examples of ir_nodes:  Add, Jmp, Cmp
 *
 *      FIRM is a dataflow graph.  A dataflow graph is a directed graph,
 *      so that every node has incoming and outgoing edges.  A node is
 *      executable if every input at it's incoming edges is available.
 *      Execution of the dataflow graph is started at the Start node which
 *      has no incoming edges and ends when the End node executes, even if
 *      there are still executable or not executed nodes.  (Is this true,
 *      or must all executable nodes be executed?)  (There are exceptions
 *      to the dataflow paradigma that all inputs have to be available
 *      before a node can execute: Phi, Block.  See UKA Techreport
 *      1999-14.)
 *
 *      The implementation of FIRM differs from the view as a dataflow
 *      graph.  To allow fast traversion of the graph edges are
 *      implemented as C-pointers.  Inputs to nodes are not ambiguous, the
 *      results can be used by several other nodes.  Each input can be
 *      implemented as a single pointer to a predecessor node, outputs
 *      need to be lists of pointers to successors.  Therefore a node
 *      contains pointers to it's predecessor so that the implementation is a
 *      dataflow graph with reversed edges.  It has to be traversed bottom
 *      up.
 *
 *      All nodes of the ir have the same basic structure.  They are
 *      distinguished by a field containing the opcode.
 *
 *      The fields of an ir_node:
 *
 *      kind             A firm_kind tag containing k_ir_node.  This is useful for
 *                       dynamically checking the type of a node.
 *
 *      *op              This ir_op gives the opcode as a tag and a string
 *                       and the number of attributes of an ir_node.  There is
 *                       one statically allocated struct ir_op for each opcode.
 *
 *      *mode            The ir_mode of the operation represented by this firm
 *                       node.  The mode of the operation is the mode of it's
 *                       result.  A Firm mode is a datatype as known to the target,
 *                   not a type of the source language.
 *
 *      visit            A flag for traversing the ir.
 *
 *      **in             An array with pointers to the node's predecessors.
 *
 *      *link            A pointer to an ir_node.  With this pointer all Phi nodes
 *                       are attached to a Block, i.e., a Block points to it's
 *                       first Phi node, this node points to the second Phi node
 *                       in the Block and so fourth.  Used in mature_block
 *                       to find all Phi nodes to be matured.  It's also used to
 *                   annotate a node with a better, optimized version of it.
 *
 *      attr             An attr struct containing the attributes of the nodes. The
 *                       attributes depend on the opcode of the node.  The number
 *                   of these attributes is given in op.
 *
 *    The struct ir_op
 *    ----------------
 *                       Not yet documented. See irop.h.
 *
 *    The struct ir_mode
 *    ------------------
 *                       Not yet documented. See irmode.h.
 *
 *    GLOBAL VARIABLES -- now also fields of ir_graph.
 *    ================
 *
 *    current_ir_graph   Points to the current ir_graph.  All constructors for
 *                       nodes add nodes to this graph.
 *
 *    ir_visited         An int used as flag to traverse the ir_graph.
 *
 *    block_visited      An int used as a flag to traverse block nodes in the
 *                       graph.
 *
 *                       Others not yet documented.

 *    ========================
 *
 *
 *    PROCEDURE TO CONSTRUCT AN IR GRAPH --> see also Firm tutorial
 *    ==================================
 *
 *    This library supplies several interfaces to construct a FIRM graph for
 *    a program:
 *    * A "comfortable" interface generating SSA automatically.  Automatically
 *      computed predecessors of nodes need not be specified in the constructors.
 *      (new_<Node> constructurs and a set of additional routines.)
 *    * A less comfortable interface where all predecessors except the block
 *      an operation belongs to need to be specified.  SSA must be constructed
 *      by hand.  (new_<Node> constructors and switch_block()).  This interface
 *      is called "block oriented".  It automatically calles the local optimizations
 *      for each new node.
 *    * An even less comfortable interface where the block needs to be specified
 *      explicitly.  This is called the "raw" interface. (new_r_<Node>
 *      constructors).  These nodes are not optimized.
 *
 *    To use the functionality of the comfortable interface correctly the Front
 *    End needs to follow certain protocols.  This is explained in the following.
 *    To build a correct IR with the other interfaces study the semantics of
 *    the firm node (See tech-reprot UKA 1999-14).  For the construction of
 *    types and entities see the documentation in those modules.
 *
 *    First the Frontend needs to decide which variables and values used in
 *    a procedure can be represented by dataflow edges.  These are variables
 *    that need not be saved to memory as they cause no side effects visible
 *    out of the procedure.  Often these are all compiler generated
 *    variables and simple local variables of the procedure as integers,
 *    reals and pointers.  The frontend has to count and number these variables.
 *
 *    First an ir_graph needs to be constructed with new_ir_graph.  The
 *    constructor gets the number of local variables.  The graph is hold in the
 *    global variable irg.
 *
 *    Now the construction of the procedure can start.  Several basic blocks can
 *    be constructed in parallel, but the code within each block needs to
 *    be constructed (almost) in program order.
 *
 *    A global variable holds the current basic block.  All (non block) nodes
 *    generated are added to this block.  The current block can be set with
 *    switch_block(block).  If several blocks are constructed in parallel block
 *    switches need to be performed constantly.
 *
 *    To generate a Block node (with the comfortable interface) it's predecessor
 *    control flow nodes need not be known.  In case of cyclic control flow these
 *    can not be known when the block is constructed.  With add_in_edge(block,
 *    cfnode) predecessors can be added to the block.  If all predecessors are
 *    added to the block mature_block(b) needs to be called.  Calling mature_block
 *    early improves the efficiency of the Phi node construction algorithm.
 *    But if several  blocks are constructed at once, mature_block must only
 *    be called after performing all set_values and set_stores in the block!
 *    (See documentation of new_immBlock constructor.)
 *
 *    The constructors of arithmetic nodes require that their predecessors
 *    are mentioned.  Sometimes these are available in the Frontend as the
 *    predecessors have just been generated by the frontend.  If they are local
 *    values the predecessors can be obtained from the library with a call to
 *    get_value(local_val_nr).  (local_val_nr needs to be administered by
 *    the Frontend.)  A call to get_value triggers the generation of Phi nodes.
 *    If an arithmetic operation produces a local value this value needs to be
 *    passed to the library by set_value(node, local_val_nr).
 *    In straight line code these two operations just remember and return the
 *    pointer to nodes producing the value.  If the value passes block boundaries
 *    Phi nodes can be inserted.
 *    Similar routines exist to manage the Memory operands: set_store and
 *    get_store.
 *
 *    Several nodes produce more than one result.  An example is the Div node.
 *    Such nodes return tuples of values.  From these individual values can be
 *    extracted by proj nodes.
 *
 *    The following example illustrates the construction of a simple basic block
 *    with two predecessors stored in variables cf_pred1 and cf_pred2, containing
 *    the code
 *      a = a div a;
 *    and finally jumping to an other block.  The variable a got the local_val_nr
 *    42 by the frontend.
 *
 *    ir_node *this_block, *cf_pred1, *cf_pred2, *a_val, *mem, *div, *res, *cf_op;
 *
 *    this_block = new_immBlock();
 *    add_in_edge(this_block, cf_pred1);
 *    add_in_edge(this_block, cf_pred2);
 *    mature_block(this_block);
 *    a_val = get_value(42, mode_I);
 *    mem = get_store();
 *    div = new_Div(mem, a_val, a_val);
 *    mem = new_Proj(div, mode_M, 0);   * for the numbers for Proj see docu *
 *    res = new_Proj(div, mode_I, 2);
 *    set_store(mem);
 *    set_value(res, 42);
 *    cf_op = new_Jmp();
 *
 *    For further information look at the documentation of the nodes and
 *    constructors and at the paragraph COPING WITH DATA OBJECTS at the
 *    end of this documentation.

 *
 *    IR_NODES AND CONSTRUCTORS FOR IR_NODES
 *    =======================================
 *
 *    All ir_nodes are defined by a common data structure.  They are distinguished
 *    by their opcode and differ in the number of their attributes.
 *
 *    The constructor for the block node sets current_block to itself.
 *    Const nodes are always added to the start block.
 *    All other constructors add the created node to the current_block.
 *    swich_block(block) allows to set the current block to block.
 *
 *    Watch for my inconsistent use of input and predecessor (dataflow view)
 *    and `the node points to' (implementation view).
 *
 *    The following description of the nodes lists four properties them if these
 *    are of interest:
 *     - the parameters to the constructor
 *     - the inputs of the Firm node
 *     - the outputs of the Firm node
 *     - attributes to the node
 *
 *    BASIC BLOCKS
 *    ------------
 *
 *    ir_node *new_immBlock (void)
 *    ----------------------------
 *
 *    Creates a new block.  Sets current_block to itself.  When a new block is
 *    created it cannot be known how many predecessors this block will have in the
 *    control flow graph. Therefore the list of inputs can not be fixed at
 *    creation.  Predecessors can be added with add_in_edge (block, control flow
 *    operation).  With every added predecessor the number of inputs to Phi nodes
 *    also changes.
 *
 *    The block can be completed by mature_block(block) if all predecessors are
 *    known.  If several blocks are built at once, mature_block can only be called
 *    after set_value has been called for all values that are life at the end
 *    of the block.  This is necessary so that Phi nodes created by mature_block
 *    get the right predecessors in case of cyclic dependencies.  If all set_values
 *    of this block are called after maturing it and before calling get_value
 *    in some block that is control flow dependent on this block, the construction
 *    is correct.
 *
 *    Example for faulty ir construction:  (draw the graph on a paper and you'll
 *                                          get it ;-)
 *
 *      block_before_loop = new_block();
 *      set_value(x);
 *      mature_block(block_before_loop);
 *      before2header = new_Jmp;
 *
 *      loop_header = new_block ();
 *      header2body - new_Jmp();
 *
 *      loop_body = new_block ();
 *      body2header = new_Jmp();
 *
 *      add_in_edge(loop_header, before2header);
 *      add_in_edge(loop_header, body2header);
 *      add_in_edge(loop_body, header2body);
 *
 *      mature_block(loop_header);
 *      mature_block(loop_body);
 *
 *      get_value(loop_body, x);   // gets the Phi in loop_header
 *      set_value(loop_header, x); // sets the value the above get_value should
 *      // have returned!!!
 *
 *    Mature_block also fixes the number of inputs to the Phi nodes.  Mature_block
 *    should be called as early as possible, as afterwards the generation of Phi
 *    nodes is more efficient.
 *
 *    Inputs:
 *      There is an input for each control flow predecessor of the block.
 *      The input points to an instruction producing an output of type X.
 *      Possible predecessors:  Start, Jmp, Cond, Raise or Return or any node
 *      possibly causing an exception.  (Often the real predecessors are Projs.)
 *    Output:
 *      Mode BB (R), all nodes belonging to this block should consume this output.
 *      As they are strict (except Block and Phi node) it is a necessary condition
 *      that the block node executed before any other node in this block executes.
 *    Attributes:
 *      block.matured  Indicates whether the block is mature.
 *      block.**graph_arr

 *
 *    ir_node *new_Sync (int arity, ir_node **in)
 *    -------------------------------------------
 *
 *    The Sync operation unifies several partial memory blocks.  These blocks
 *    have to be pairwise disjunct or the values in common locations have to
 *    be identical.  This operation allows to specify all operations that eventually
 *    need several partial memory blocks as input with a single entrance by
 *    unifying the memories with a preceding Sync operation.
 *
 *    Parameters
 *      arity    The number of memories to syncronize.
 *      **in     An array of pointers to nodes that produce an output of
 *               type memory.
 *    Inputs
 *      Several memories.

 *
 *
 *    SPECIAL OPERATIONS
 *    ------------------
 *
 *    ir_node *new_Bad (void)

 *
 *    ir_node *new_Proj (ir_node *arg, ir_mode *mode, long proj)
 *    ----------------------------------------------------------
 *
 *    Selects one entry of a tuple.  This is a hidden `fat edge'.
 *
 *    Parameters
 *      *arg      A node producing a tuple.
 *      *mode     The mode of the value to project.
 *      proj      The position of the value in the tuple.
 *    Input:
 *      The tuple.
 *    Output:
 *      The value.
 *
 *    ir_node *new_Tuple (int arity, ir_node **in)
 *    --------------------------------------------
 *
 *    Builds a Tuple from single values.  This is needed to implement
 *    optimizations that remove a node that produced a tuple.  The node can be
 *    replaced by the Tuple operation so that the following Proj nodes have not to
 *    be changed.  (They are hard to find due to the implementation with pointers
 *    in only one direction.)  The Tuple node is smaller than any other
 *    node, so that a node can be changed into a Tuple by just changing it's
 *    opcode and giving it a new in array.
 *
 *    Parameters
 *      arity    The number of tuple elements.
 *      **in     An array containing pointers to the nodes producing the
 *               tuple elements.
 *
 *    ir_node *new_Id (ir_node *val, ir_mode *mode)
 *    ---------------------------------------------
 *
 *    The single output of the Id operation is it's input.  Also needed
 *    for optimizations.
 *
 *
 *    COPING WITH DATA OBJECTS
 *    ========================
 *
 *    Two kinds of data objects have to be distinguished for generating
 *    FIRM.  First there are local variables other than arrays that are
 *    known to be alias free.  Second there are all other data objects.
 *    For the first a common SSA representation is built, the second
 *    are modeled by saving them to memory.  The memory is treated as
 *    a single local variable, the alias problem is hidden in the
 *    content of this variable.
 *
 *    All values known in a Block are listed in the block's attribute,
 *    block.**graph_arr which is used to automatically insert Phi nodes.
 *    The following two funcions can be used to add a newly computed value
 *    to the array, or to get the producer of a value, i.e., the current
 *    live value.
 *
 *    inline void set_value (int pos, ir_node *value)
 *    -----------------------------------------------
 *
 *    Has to be called for every assignment to a local variable.  It
 *    adds the value to the array of used values at position pos.  Pos
 *    has to be a unique identifier for an entry in the procedure's
 *    definition table.  It can be used to access the value again.
 *
 *    ir_node *get_value (int pos, ir_mode *mode)
 *    -------------------------------------------
 *
 *    Returns the node defining the value referred to by pos. If the
 *    value is not defined in this block a Phi node is generated and
 *    all definitions reaching this Phi node are collected.  It can
 *    happen that the algorithm allocates an unnecessary Phi node,
 *    e.g. if there is only one definition of this value, but this
 *    definition reaches the currend block on several different
 *    paths.  This Phi node will be eliminated if optimizations are
 *    turned on right after it's creation.
 *
 *
 *    There are two special routines for the global store:
 *
 *    inline void set_store (ir_node *store)
 *    --------------------------------------
 *
 *    Adds the store to the array of known values at a reserved
 *    position.
 *
 *    inline ir_node *get_store (void)
 *    --------------------------------
 *
 *    Returns the node defining the actual store.
