I got asked compiler question once. How to find dominators. I haven't had to find dominators for a very long time other than from a college course, mostly only used them. Looking it up, it's definitely not something you can come up with because it's so clever.

Those questions tell you more about the interviewer than the interviewee.

Was this interview for a compiler position?

Anyway, dominators make sense for arbitrary directed graphs (with a notion of root).

yea, but for a target dependent backend position.
