+//! In-memory representation of compiled machine code, with labels and fixups to
+//! refer to those labels. Handles constant-pool island insertion and also
+//! veneer insertion for out-of-range jumps.
+//!
+//! This code exists to solve three problems:
+//!
+//! - Branch targets for forward branches are not known until later, when we
+//!   emit code in a single pass through the instruction structs.
+//!
+//! - On many architectures, address references or offsets have limited range.
+//!   For example, on AArch64, conditional branches can only target code +/- 1MB
+//!   from the branch itself.
+//!
+//! - The lowering of control flow from the CFG-with-edges produced by
+//!   [BlockLoweringOrder](super::BlockLoweringOrder), combined with many empty
+//!   edge blocks when the register allocator does not need to insert any
+//!   spills/reloads/moves in edge blocks, results in many suboptimal branch
+//!   patterns. The lowering also pays no attention to block order, and so
+//!   two-target conditional forms (cond-br followed by uncond-br) can often by
+//!   avoided because one of the targets is the fallthrough. There are several
+//!   cases here where we can simplify to use fewer branches.
+//!
+//! This "buffer" implements a single-pass code emission strategy (with a later
+//! "fixup" pass, but only through recorded fixups, not all instructions). The
+//! basic idea is:
+//!
+//! - Emit branches as they are, including two-target (cond/uncond) compound
+//!   forms, but with zero offsets and optimistically assuming the target will be
+//!   in range. Record the "fixup" for later. Targets are denoted instead by
+//!   symbolic "labels" that are then bound to certain offsets in the buffer as
+//!   we emit code. (Nominally, there is a label at the start of every basic
+//!   block.)
+//!
+//! - As we do this, track the offset in the buffer at which the first label
+//!   reference "goes out of range". We call this the "deadline". If we reach the
+//!   deadline and we still have not bound the label to which an unresolved branch
+//!   refers, we have a problem!
+//!
+//! - To solve this problem, we emit "islands" full of "veneers". An island is
+//!   simply a chunk of code inserted in the middle of the code actually produced
+//!   by the emitter (e.g., vcode iterating over instruction structs). The emitter
+//!   has some awareness of this: it either asks for an island between blocks, so
+//!   it is not accidentally executed, or else it emits a branch around the island
+//!   when all other options fail (see `Inst::EmitIsland` meta-instruction).
+//!
+//! - A "veneer" is an instruction (or sequence of instructions) in an "island"
+//!   that implements a longer-range reference to a label. The idea is that, for
+//!   example, a branch with a limited range can branch to a "veneer" instead,
+//!   which is simply a branch in a form that can use a longer-range reference. On
+//!   AArch64, for example, conditionals have a +/- 1 MB range, but a conditional
+//!   can branch to an unconditional branch which has a +/- 128 MB range. Hence, a
+//!   conditional branch's label reference can be fixed up with a "veneer" to
+//!   achieve a longer range.
+//!
+//! - To implement all of this, we require the backend to provide a `LabelUse`
+//!   type that implements a trait. This is nominally an enum that records one of
+//!   several kinds of references to an offset in code -- basically, a relocation
+//!   type -- and will usually correspond to different instruction formats. The
+//!   `LabelUse` implementation specifies the maximum range, how to patch in the
+//!   actual label location when known, and how to generate a veneer to extend the
+//!   range.
+//!
+//! That satisfies label references, but we still may have suboptimal branch
+//! patterns. To clean up the branches, we do a simple "peephole"-style
+//! optimization on the fly. To do so, the emitter (e.g., `Inst::emit()`)
+//! informs the buffer of branches in the code and, in the case of conditionals,
+//! the code that would have been emitted to invert this branch's condition. We
+//! track the "latest branches": these are branches that are contiguous up to
+//! the current offset. (If any code is emitted after a branch, that branch or
+//! run of contiguous branches is no longer "latest".) The latest branches are
+//! those that we can edit by simply truncating the buffer and doing something
+//! else instead.
+//!
+//! To optimize branches, we implement several simple rules, and try to apply
+//! them to the "latest branches" when possible:
+//!
+//! - A branch with a label target, when that label is bound to the ending
+//!   offset of the branch (the fallthrough location), can be removed altogether,
+//!   because the branch would have no effect).
+//!
+//! - An unconditional branch that starts at a label location, and branches to
+//!   another label, results in a "label alias": all references to the label bound
+//!   *to* this branch instruction are instead resolved to the *target* of the
+//!   branch instruction. This effectively removes empty blocks that just
+//!   unconditionally branch to the next block. We call this "branch threading".
+//!
+//! - A conditional followed by an unconditional, when the conditional branches
+//!   to the unconditional's fallthrough, results in (i) the truncation of the
+//!   unconditional, (ii) the inversion of the condition's condition, and (iii)
+//!   replacement of the conditional's target (using the original target of the
+//!   unconditional). This is a fancy way of saying "we can flip a two-target
+//!   conditional branch's taken/not-taken targets if it works better with our
+//!   fallthrough". To make this work, the emitter actually gives the buffer
+//!   *both* forms of every conditional branch: the true form is emitted into the
+//!   buffer, and the "inverted" machine-code bytes are provided as part of the
+//!   branch-fixup metadata.
+//!
+//! - An unconditional B preceded by another unconditional P, when B's label(s) have
+//!   been redirected to target(B), can be removed entirely. This is an extension
+//!   of the branch-threading optimization, and is valid because if we know there
+//!   will be no fallthrough into this branch instruction (the prior instruction
+//!   is an unconditional jump), and if we know we have successfully redirected
+//!   all labels, then this branch instruction is unreachable. Note that this
+//!   works because the redirection happens before the label is ever resolved
+//!   (fixups happen at island emission time, at which point latest-branches are
+//!   cleared, or at the end of emission), so we are sure to catch and redirect
+//!   all possible paths to this instruction.
+//!
+//! # Branch-optimization Correctness
+//!
+//! The branch-optimization mechanism depends on a few data structures with
+//! invariants, which are always held outside the scope of top-level public
+//! methods:
+//!
+//! - The latest-branches list. Each entry describes a span of the buffer
+//!   (start/end offsets), the label target, the corresponding fixup-list entry
+//!   index, and the bytes (must be the same length) for the inverted form, if
+//!   conditional. The list of labels that are bound to the start-offset of this
+//!   branch is *complete* (if any label has a resolved offset equal to `start`
+//!   and is not an alias, it must appear in this list) and *precise* (no label
+//!   in this list can be bound to another offset). No label in this list should
+//!   be an alias.  No two branch ranges can overlap, and branches are in
+//!   ascending-offset order.
+//!
+//! - The labels-at-tail list. This contains all MachLabels that have been bound
+//!   to (whose resolved offsets are equal to) the tail offset of the buffer.
+//!   No label in this list should be an alias.
+//!
+//! - The label_offsets array, containing the bound offset of a label or
+//!   UNKNOWN. No label can be bound at an offset greater than the current
+//!   buffer tail.
+//!
+//! - The label_aliases array, containing another label to which a label is
+//!   bound or UNKNOWN. A label's resolved offset is the resolved offset
+//!   of the label it is aliased to, if this is set.
+//!
+//! We argue below, at each method, how the invariants in these data structures
+//! are maintained (grep for "Post-invariant").
+//!
+//! Given these invariants, we argue why each optimization preserves execution
+//! semantics below (grep for "Preserves execution semantics").
