Implement basic data flow analysis, showing known values in place of registers where we have more information about the contents of the register available.
Features
Settings
The PR includes two additional settings,
analyzeDataFlow
andshowDataFlow
analyzeDataFlow
defaults to false and gates the whole feature: No analysis is done unless this setting is enabled. It is currently exposed as "(Experimental) Perform data flow analysis" under Arch Settings -> PowerPC. It's not prepended with "ppc." because I think this should be a general setting that could apply to all arches, I just put it under PowerPC because it only applies to that so far.showDataFlow
defaults to true and shows the data flow results in place of register names ifanalyzeDataFlow
was enabled and there are data flow results for the argument in question. This is exposed as checkbox at the top of the diff view in the case whenanalyzeDataFlow
is enabled.
