#!/usr/bin/env python """A ladder graph creation program. This is a python program that creates c source code that will generate CFGs that are ladder graphs. Ladder graphs are generally the worst case for a lot of dominance related algorithms (Dominance frontiers, etc), and often generate N^2 or worse behavior. One good use of this program is to test whether your linear time algorithm is really behaving linearly.
