Summary:
Each variable now contains its type, alongside its name. This is more
uniform than in LLVM, where the name is usually paired with a type, but
not always, for example, the register type of the result of an
extractvalue is left implicit.

Summary:
This sketches out how translation can be approached. It is partially
based on the Sledge code.
For basic blocks, isn't based on the Sledge code, but just my own
thoughts as a starting point. Essentially, we are trying to build up
larger expressions, and so not assigning to temporary registers that
don't live past the end of the block. This does remove sharing, so a
fancier approach could check for multiple uses of end-of-block dead
registers, or look at the sizes of expressions. The approach should be
flexible enough to accommodate such changes.
Fix icmp syntax
Using finite maps is elegant in the semantics, but awkward for writing
the translation function. Refactor the mappings from labels to functions
and from labels to blocks to use association lists instead.
To remove phi nodes, the translation takes every edge in the control
flow graph and makes a new basic block that contains a single parallel
move instruction that corresponds to the action of the phi node of the
target block.

Summary:
There could very well still be bugs in the semantics, since the
invariant here doesn't say all that much, and it completely ignores
local registers. But most trivial things and typos are probably fixed.

Summary:
Made progress on the sanity checking lemma (that the step relation
preserves some simple invariants on the state). Proved the Ret
instruction case of the state invariant lemma. To do this, I fixed a few
bugs in the definition, and strengthened the invariants.

Summary:
Global variables need allocating and initialising before the machine can
start. The definition here shouldn't constrain how and where they are
allocated. For example, they don't all need to have separate
allocations. We also tag allocated blocks so that the allocation for a
global can never be deallocated.
Start working on a sanity checking invariant on states.

Summary:
Start working on a simple model of LLVM with the ultimate goal of
handling relevant and/or tricky aspects of LLVM and LLAIR and then
formalising the translation from LLVM to LLAIR.
This is a complete initial model of everything that we are interested in
except for exceptions, which should be tricky. Also no thought has gone
into the treatment of poison and the undefined value, so the treatment
is naive, which is at least partially justified because we are
interested in the semantics of LLVM IR after the optimisation passes
have run.
Include some sanity checking theorems.
