Summary

Refactored the reboxing optimization to use the forward dataflow analysis framework instead of a manual block traversal approach. This change leverages the existing dataflow infrastructure to more systematically analyze variable usage patterns.


Type of change

Please check one:

  • Bug fix (fixes incorrect behavior)
  • Performance improvement
  • New feature
  • Documentation change with concrete technical impact
  • Style, wording, formatting, or typo-only change

Why is this change needed?

The previous implementation of reboxing candidate detection used a manual traversal approach that assumed a topological sort of blocks. By refactoring to use the forward dataflow analysis framework, we gain a more structured and maintainable approach to tracking variable state through the control flow graph.


What was the behavior or documentation before?

The reboxing optimization used a manual approach to track variable states across blocks, which was less structured and potentially more error-prone.


What is the behavior or documentation after?

The optimization now uses the forward dataflow analysis framework, which provides a more systematic approach to tracking variable states. The functionality remains the same, but the implementation is more maintainable and follows the established pattern for other dataflow analyses in the codebase.


Additional context

This refactoring maintains the same optimization behavior while improving the code structure. The test results show that the same reboxing candidates are identified, just in a slightly different order due to how the dataflow analysis traverses the blocks.
