Expand description
Reverse postorder traversal of a graph.
This function creates an iterator over the Body
’s basic blocks, that:
- returns basic blocks in a reverse postorder,
- makes use of the
BasicBlocks
CFG cache’s reverse postorder.
Reverse postorder is the reverse order of a postorder traversal. This is different to a preorder traversal and represents a natural linearization of control-flow.

A reverse postorder traversal of this graph is either A B C D
or A C B D
Note that for a graph containing no loops (i.e., A DAG), this is equivalent to
a topological sort.
