"""Iterative flags elimination.

Part of the Chrome build flags optimization.

This module implements the flag iterative elimination algorithm (IE) adopted
from the paper
Z. Pan et al. Fast and Effective Orchestration of Compiler Optimizations for
Automatic Performance Tuning.

IE begins with the base line that turns on all the optimizations flags and
setting the numeric flags to their highest values. IE turns off the one boolean
flag or lower the value of a numeric flag with the most negative effect from the
baseline. This process repeats with all remaining flags, until none of them
causes performance degradation. The complexity of IE is O(n^2).

For example, -fstrict-aliasing and -ftree-vectorize. The base line is
b=[-fstrict-aliasing, -ftree-vectorize]. The two tasks in the first iteration
are t0=[-fstrict-aliasing] and t1=[-ftree-vectorize]. The algorithm compares b
with t0 and t1, respectively, and see whether setting the numeric flag with a
lower value or removing the boolean flag -fstrict-aliasing produce a better
fitness value.
