- Propagate types more accurately to improve optimization on ANF representation. - Add a generic optimization pass to remove redundant variables that simply alias other variables. - Modify Sail interactive mode, so it can compile a specification with the :compile command, view generated intermediate representation via the :ir <function> command, and step-through the IR with :exec <exp> (although this is very incomplete) - Introduce a third bitvector representation, between fast fixed-precision bitvectors, and variable length large bitvectors. The bitvector types are now from most efficient to least * CT_fbits for fixed precision, 64-bit or less bitvectors * CT_sbits for 64-bit or less, variable length bitvectors * CT_lbits for arbitrary variable length bitvectors - Support for generating C code using CT_sbits is currently incomplete, it just exists in the intermediate representation right now. - Include ctyp in AV_C_fragment, so we don't have to recompute it
