Walking the SSA definitions in order means that we consider the smallest
algebraic optimizations before larger optimizations. So if a smaller
rule is part of a larger rule, the smaller one will happen first,
preventing the larger one from happening.
instructions in affected programs: 32721 -> 32611 (-0.34%)
helped: 106
In programs whose nir_optimize loop count changes (129 of them):
before: 1164 optimization loops
after: 1071 optimization loops
Of the 129 affected, 16 programs' optimization loop counts increased.
Prevents regressions and annoyances in the next commits.
