1//! Code Optimizations
2//!
3//! This module provides optimization passes for decoded PowerPC instructions.
4//! These optimizations improve code quality and reduce generated code size.
5//!
6//! # Optimization Passes
7//! - **Constant Folding**: Evaluate constant expressions at compile time
8//! - **Dead Code Elimination**: Remove unused instructions
9//! - **Register Allocation**: Optimize register usage (placeholder for future implementation)
10//!
11//! # Memory Optimizations
12//! - Pre-allocates result vectors with estimated capacity
13//! - Uses efficient data structures for analysis
