// This file defines the LiveOriginAnalysis, a backward dataflow analysis that
// determines which origins are "live" at each program point. An origin is
// "live" at a program point if there's a potential future use of a pointer it
// is associated with. Liveness is "generated" by a use of an origin (e.g., a
// `UseFact` from a read of a pointer) and is "killed" (i.e., it stops being
// live) when the origin is replaced by flowing a different origin into it
// (e.g., an OriginFlow from an assignment that kills the destination).
//
// This information is used for detecting use-after-free errors, as it allows us
// to check if a live origin holds a loan to an object that has already expired.
