[PATCH] D38541: [Dominators] Take fast path when applying <=1 updates

[Jakub Kuderski via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

kuhar created this revision.

This patch teaches `DT.applyUpdates` to take the fast when applying zero or just one update and makes it not run the internal batch updater machinery.

With this patch, it should no longer make sense to have a special check in user's code that checks the update sequence size before applying them, e.g.

  if (!MyUpdates.empty())
    DT.applyUpdates(MyUpdates);

or

  if (MyUpdates.size() == 1)
    if (...)
      DT.insertEdge(...)
    else
      DT.deleteEdge(...)
