+/**
+ * @author Ben Titzer
+ *
+ *         Classes that define the (High-level) Intermediate Representation (HIR) if the C1X compiler.
+ *
+ *         HIR instances are created by processing Java bytecodes and are Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). All nodes in
+ *         an HIR graph are concrete subclasses of the abstract class {@link Value}. This indicates a property of HIR,
+ *         namely that everything is a value, including instructions. This allows an operand for an instruction node to
+ *         refer directly to the node that generated the value, which might, for example, be another instruction.
