If you run "opt -print-after-all ...", it will dump the IR after each pass.
If you grep the output by "*** IR Dump", it should show the order (but note
the order may change.)

The analyses that a pass depends on will be run prior to it, right before
the pass if the previous pass invalidates them, or some time earlier if
they are preserved by the preceding passes.
