+// Eliminates unnecessary write barriers from InstanceFieldSet, StaticFieldSet, and ArraySet.
+//
+// We can eliminate redundant write barriers as we don't need several for the same receiver. For
+// example:
+//   MyObject o;
+//   o.inner_obj = io;
+//   o.inner_obj2 = io2;
+//   o.inner_obj3 = io3;
+// We can keep the write barrier for `inner_obj` and remove the other two.
+//
+// In order to do this, we set the WriteBarrierKind of the instruction. The instruction's kind are
+// set to kEmitNoNullCheck (if this write barrier coalesced other write barriers, we don't want to
+// perform the null check optimization), or to kDontEmit (if the write barrier as a whole is not
+// needed).
