// This file defines the OrderedBasicBlock class. OrderedBasicBlock maintains
// an interface where clients can query if one instruction comes before another
// in a BasicBlock. Since BasicBlock currently lacks a reliable way to query
// relative position between instructions one can use OrderedBasicBlock to do
// such queries. OrderedBasicBlock is lazily built on a source BasicBlock and
// maintains an internal Instruction -> Position map. A OrderedBasicBlock
// instance should be discarded whenever the source BasicBlock changes.
//
// It's currently used by the CaptureTracker in order to find relative
// positions of a pair of instructions inside a BasicBlock.
