SSA Transform relies on initializers to create intial name on stack #16

This snippet fails:

                func foo(x: Int) {
                    var z: Int
                    while (x > 0) {
                        z = 5
                        if (x == 1)
                            z = z+1
                        x = x - 1
                    }
                }

While this is okay

                func foo(x: Int) {
                    var z = 0
                    while (x > 0) {
                        z = 5
                        if (x == 1)
                            z = z+1
                        x = x - 1
                    }
                }

The problem seems to be in 2nd block of search() where we look for instructions of form v = x op y. The declaration alone does not generate such an instruction.

Potential solution may be that declaration of a var generates a var instruction that defines the var.
