/* Given a dominator tree, we can determine whether one thing
dominates another in constant time by using two DFS numbers:
1. The number for when we visit a node on the way down the tree
2. The number for when we visit a node on the way back up the tree
You can view these as bounds for the range of dfs numbers the
nodes in the subtree of the dominator tree rooted at that node
will contain.
The dominator tree is always a simple acyclic tree, so there are
only three possible relations two nodes in the dominator tree have
to each other:
1. Node A is above Node B (and thus, Node A dominates node B)
A
|
C
/ \
B D
In the above case, DFS_Number_In of A will be <= DFS_Number_In of
B, and DFS_Number_Out of A will be >= DFS_Number_Out of B. This is
because we must hit A in the dominator tree *before* B on the walk
down, and we will hit A *after* B on the walk back up
2. Node A is below node B (and thus, node B dominates node B)
B
|
A
/ \
C D
In the above case, DFS_Number_In of A will be >= DFS_Number_In of
B, and DFS_Number_Out of A will be <= DFS_Number_Out of B.
This is because we must hit A in the dominator tree *after* B on
the walk down, and we will hit A *before* B on the walk back up
3. Node A and B are siblings (and thus, neither dominates the other)
C
|
D
/ \
A B
In the above case, DFS_Number_In of A will *always* be <=
DFS_Number_In of B, and DFS_Number_Out of A will *always* be <=
DFS_Number_Out of B. This is because we will always finish the dfs
walk of one of the subtrees before the other, and thus, the dfs
numbers for one subtree can't intersect with the range of dfs
numbers for the other subtree. If you swap A and B's position in
the dominator tree, the comparison changes direction, but the point
is that both comparisons will always go the same way if there is no
dominance relationship.
Thus, it is sufficient to write
A_Dominates_B (node A, node B)
{
return DFS_Number_In(A) <= DFS_Number_In(B)
&& DFS_Number_Out (A) >= DFS_Number_Out(B);
}
A_Dominated_by_B (node A, node B)
{
return DFS_Number_In(A) >= DFS_Number_In(A)
&& DFS_Number_Out (A) <= DFS_Number_Out(B);
