Your 5 Questions - Direct Answers

Q1: Where exactly should LoopHeaderPhiBuilder::build() be called?

Location: src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/merge/mod.rs, line 107 When: Between Phase 3 (remap_values) and Phase 4 (instruction_rewriter) Why: Phase 3.5 allocates PHI dsts before instruction_rewriter needs them Details: phase33-16-qa.md#q1

Q2: How do I get the header_block_id (loop_step's entry block after remapping)?

Code: remapper.get_block(entry_func_name, entry_func.entry_block)? Key: Entry block is the loop header for Pattern 2 Details: phase33-16-qa.md#q2

Q3: How do I get the loop variable's initial value (host-side)?

Code: remapper.get_value(ValueId(0))? Key: ValueId(0) is always the loop parameter in JoinIR space Details: phase33-16-qa.md#q3

Q4: Where should instruction_rewriter record latch_incoming?

Location: src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/merge/instruction_rewriter.rs, ~line 300 When: In tail call section, after parameter bindings Code: loop_header_phi_info.set_latch_incoming(loop_var_name, target_block, latch_value) Details: phase33-16-qa.md#q4

Q5: Should the Phase 33-15 skip logic be removed or modified?

Answer: Modify, NOT remove Strategy: Use header PHI dst when available, fallback to parameter Details: phase33-16-qa.md#q5

Testing Checklist

Before implementation:

• Review phase33-16-qa.md (answers to your questions)
• Review phase33-16-visual-guide.md (code locations)
• Baseline compile: cargo build --release

During implementation:

• Implement Phase 3.5 → compile
• Update signature → compile
• Add latch tracking → compile
• Replace exit_phi_inputs → compile
• Replace carrier_inputs → compile
• Add Phase 4.5 → compile
• Update docs → compile

After implementation:

• NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG=1 ./target/release/nyash --dump-mir test.hako | grep "Phase 33-16"
• Verify header block has PHI instructions at start
• Verify exit values reference header PHI dsts
• Test: joinir_min_loop.hako produces correct MIR
• Test: Loop variable values correct at exit

Key Concepts

Loop Header PHI as SSOT (Single Source of Truth)

The core idea: Instead of using undefined loop parameters, use PHI nodes at the loop header to track the "current value" of loop variables.

Why it works:

• PHI nodes ARE SSA-defined at the header block
• PHI dsts can safely be referenced in exit values
• Eliminates SSA-undef errors from undefined parameters

Architecture:

• Phase 3.5: Pre-allocate PHI dsts (before instruction processing)
• Phase 4: Set latch incoming during instruction processing
• Phase 4.5: Finalize PHIs with all incoming edges
• Phase 6: Use PHI dsts in exit line reconnection

Two-Phase PHI Construction

Phase 3.5: build() - Allocate PHI dsts

let phi_dst = builder.next_value_id();  // Allocate
entry_incoming = (entry_block, init_value);  // Set entry
latch_incoming = None;  // Will be set in Phase 4

Phase 4.5: finalize() - Emit PHI instructions

PHI {
  dst: phi_dst,  // Already allocated
  inputs: [
    (entry_block, init_value),  // From Phase 3.5
    (header_block, latch_value),  // From Phase 4
  ]
}

Known Limitations & Future Work

Phase 33-16 (Current)

✅ Minimal scope: Loop variable only, no other carriers ✅ Pattern 2 primary focus (break statements) ✅ Backward compatible with Phase 33-15

Phase 33-16+ (Future)

• Extract multiple carriers from exit_bindings
• Handle Pattern 3+ with multiple PHIs
• Pattern-specific header block identification
• Optimize constant carriers

---

Support & Debugging

If implementation breaks:

1. Compilation error: Check if loop_header_phi_info is properly passed as mutable reference
2. SSA-undef error: Check if finalize() is called and all latch_incoming are set
3. Wrong values: Check if latch_incoming is set from correct tail call args
4. No header PHI: Enable NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG=1 and check "Phase 33-16" output

Debug commands:

# Check debug output
NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG=1 ./target/release/nyash --dump-mir test.hako 2>&1 | grep "Phase 33-16"

# Inspect MIR
./target/release/nyash --emit-mir-json mir.json test.hako
jq '.functions[0].blocks[0].instructions[0:3]' mir.json

---

Next Phase: Phase 34+

After Phase 33-16 is complete:

1. Pattern 4 (continue statement) implementation
2. Trim patterns with complex carriers
3. Loop-as-expression full integration
4. Performance optimizations
