+// This pass hoists instructions to enable speculative execution on
+// targets where branches are expensive. This is aimed at GPUs. It
+// currently works on simple if-then and if-then-else
+// patterns.
+//
+// Removing branches is not the only motivation for this
+// pass. E.g. consider this code and assume that there is no
+// addressing mode for multiplying by sizeof(*a):
+//
+// if (b > 0)
+// c = a[i + 1]
+// if (d > 0)
+// e = a[i + 2]
+//
+// turns into
+//
+// p = &a[i + 1];
+// if (b > 0)
+// c = *p;
+// q = &a[i + 2];
+// if (d > 0)
+// e = *q;
+//
+// which could later be optimized to
+//
+// r = &a[i];
+// if (b > 0)
+// c = r[1];
+// if (d > 0)
+// e = r[2];
+//
+// Later passes sink back much of the speculated code that did not enable
+// further optimization.
+//
+// This pass is more aggressive than the function SpeculativeyExecuteBB in
+// SimplifyCFG. SimplifyCFG will not speculate if no selects are introduced and
+// it will speculate at most one instruction. It also will not speculate if
+// there is a value defined in the if-block that is only used in the then-block.
+// These restrictions make sense since the speculation in SimplifyCFG seems
+// aimed at introducing cheap selects, while this pass is intended to do more
+// aggressive speculation while counting on later passes to either capitalize on
+// that or clean it up.
+//
+// If the pass was created by calling
+// createSpeculativeExecutionIfHasBranchDivergencePass or the
+// -spec-exec-only-if-divergent-target option is present, this pass only has an
+// effect on targets where TargetTransformInfo::hasBranchDivergence() is true;
+// on other targets, it is a nop.
+//
+// This lets you include this pass unconditionally in the IR pass pipeline, but
+// only enable it for relevant targets.
