Phase 33-22: Common Pattern Initialization & Conversion Pipeline

Overview

This phase integrates CommonPatternInitializer and JoinIRConversionPipeline across all 4 loop patterns, eliminating code duplication and establishing unified initialization and conversion flows.

Current State Analysis (Before Refactoring)

Pattern 1 (pattern1_minimal.rs)

Lines 66-76: Loop var extraction

let loop_var_name = self.extract_loop_variable_from_condition(condition)?;
let loop_var_id = self.variable_map.get(&loop_var_name)
    .copied()
    .ok_or_else(|| format!("[cf_loop/pattern1] Loop variable '{}' not found", loop_var_name))?;

Lines 147-153: Boundary creation

let mut boundary = JoinInlineBoundary::new_inputs_only(
    vec![ValueId(0)],
    vec![loop_var_id],
);
boundary.loop_var_name = Some(loop_var_name.clone());

Lines 126-156: JoinIR conversion and merge

• Manual stats logging
• convert_join_module_to_mir_with_meta call
• merge_joinir_mir_blocks call

Status:

• ✅ boundary.loop_var_name: Set (Phase 33-23 fix)
• ExitMeta: None (simple loop)
• exit_bindings: None

Pattern 2 (pattern2_with_break.rs)

Lines 58-68: Loop var extraction (duplicated from Pattern 1)

let loop_var_name = self.extract_loop_variable_from_condition(condition)?;
let loop_var_id = self.variable_map.get(&loop_var_name)
    .copied()
    .ok_or_else(|| format!("[cf_loop/pattern2] Loop variable '{}' not found", loop_var_name))?;

Lines 73-126: Condition variable handling (Pattern 2 specific)

• ConditionEnv building
• ConditionBinding creation

Lines 191-205: Boundary creation with exit_bindings

let exit_bindings = ExitMetaCollector::collect(self, &exit_meta, debug);
let mut boundary = JoinInlineBoundary::new_inputs_only(...);
boundary.condition_bindings = condition_bindings;
boundary.exit_bindings = exit_bindings.clone();
boundary.loop_var_name = Some(loop_var_name.clone());

Lines 175-208: JoinIR conversion and merge

• Manual stats logging
• convert_join_module_to_mir_with_meta call
• merge_joinir_mir_blocks call

Status:

• ✅ boundary.loop_var_name: Set
• ExitMeta: Break-triggered vars
• exit_bindings: From ExitMetaCollector
• condition_bindings: Custom handling

Pattern 3 (pattern3_with_if_phi.rs)

Lines 60-82: Loop var + carrier extraction

let loop_var_name = self.extract_loop_variable_from_condition(condition)?;
let loop_var_id = self.variable_map.get(&loop_var_name).copied()?;
let sum_var_id = self.variable_map.get("sum").copied()?;

Lines 139-154: Boundary creation with exit_bindings

let mut boundary = JoinInlineBoundary::new_with_exit_bindings(
    vec![ValueId(0), ValueId(1)],
    vec![loop_var_id, sum_var_id],
    vec![
        LoopExitBinding {
            carrier_name: "sum".to_string(),
            join_exit_value: ValueId(18),
            host_slot: sum_var_id,
        }
    ],
);
boundary.loop_var_name = Some(loop_var_name.clone());

Lines 125-156: JoinIR conversion and merge

• Manual stats logging
• convert_join_module_to_mir_with_meta call
• merge_joinir_mir_blocks call

Status:

• ✅ boundary.loop_var_name: Set (Phase 33-23 fix)
• ExitMeta: i + sum carriers
• exit_bindings: Hardcoded for "sum"

Pattern 4 (pattern4_with_continue.rs)

Lines 144-152: Loop var extraction (duplicated)

let loop_var_name = self.extract_loop_variable_from_condition(condition)?;
let loop_var_id = self.variable_map.get(&loop_var_name)
    .copied()
    .ok_or_else(|| format!(...)?;

Lines 155-179: CarrierInfo building (Pattern 4 specific)

let mut carriers = Vec::new();
for (var_name, &var_id) in &self.variable_map {
    if var_name != &loop_var_name {
        carriers.push(CarrierVar {
            name: var_name.clone(),
            host_id: var_id,
        });
    }
}

Lines 137-142: Continue normalization (Pattern 4 specific)

let normalized_body = ContinueBranchNormalizer::normalize_loop_body(_body);
let body_to_analyze = &normalized_body;

Status:

• ✅ boundary.loop_var_name: Set
• ExitMeta: Dynamic carrier analysis
• exit_bindings: Comprehensive
• Special: ContinueBranchNormalizer + LoopUpdateAnalyzer

Commonalization Strategy

Shared Initialization (ALL patterns)

The following steps are identical across all 4 patterns and can be unified:

1. Extract loop variable from condition

   • Call extract_loop_variable_from_condition(condition)
   • Look up ValueId in variable_map
   • Error handling with pattern-specific message

2. Build CarrierInfo from variable_map

   • Iterate through variable_map
   • Filter out loop variable
   • Create CarrierVar structs
   • Optional: exclude specific variables (Pattern 2)

3. Set boundary.loop_var_name ← Critical invariant

   • Required for header PHI generation
   • Must be set for all patterns

Pattern-Specific (Handled after init)

Each pattern has specific needs that happen AFTER common initialization:

• Pattern 1: No special handling (simplest case)
• Pattern 2:
  • ConditionEnv building
  • ConditionBinding creation
  • ExitMetaCollector usage
• Pattern 3:
  • Hardcoded exit_bindings for "sum"
  • Multiple carriers (i + sum)
• Pattern 4:
  • ContinueBranchNormalizer
  • LoopUpdateAnalyzer
  • Dynamic carrier filtering

Conversion Pipeline (ALL patterns)

The JoinIR → MIR → Merge flow is identical:

1. Log JoinIR stats (functions, blocks)
2. Convert JoinModule → MirModule
3. Log MIR stats (functions, blocks)
4. Call merge_joinir_mir_blocks
5. Return result

Code Duplication Identified

Loop Variable Extraction (4 occurrences × ~10 lines = 40 lines)

// Pattern 1, 2, 3, 4: All have this
let loop_var_name = self.extract_loop_variable_from_condition(condition)?;
let loop_var_id = self.variable_map.get(&loop_var_name)
    .copied()
    .ok_or_else(|| format!("[cf_loop/patternX] Loop variable '{}' not found", loop_var_name))?;

Conversion + Merge (4 occurrences × ~30 lines = 120 lines)

// Pattern 1, 2, 3, 4: All have this
trace::trace().joinir_stats(...);
let mir_module = convert_join_module_to_mir_with_meta(&join_module, &empty_meta)?;
trace::trace().joinir_stats(...);
let exit_phi_result = self.merge_joinir_mir_blocks(&mir_module, Some(&boundary), debug)?;

CarrierInfo Building (3 occurrences × ~15 lines = 45 lines)

// Pattern 3, 4: Build carriers from variable_map
let mut carriers = Vec::new();
for (var_name, &var_id) in &self.variable_map {
    if var_name != &loop_var_name {
        carriers.push(CarrierVar { name: var_name.clone(), host_id: var_id });
    }
}

Total Duplication: ~205 lines

Implementation Plan

Phase 1: CommonPatternInitializer Integration

For each pattern:

1. Replace loop var extraction with CommonPatternInitializer::initialize_pattern
2. Use returned carrier_info instead of manual building
3. Keep pattern-specific processing (condition_bindings, normalizer, etc.)

Phase 2: JoinIRConversionPipeline Integration

For each pattern:

1. Replace manual conversion + merge with JoinIRConversionPipeline::execute
2. Remove duplicate stats logging
3. Maintain error handling

Expected Results

Code Reduction

• Pattern 1: -20 lines (initialization + conversion)
• Pattern 2: -25 lines (initialization + conversion, keep condition handling)
• Pattern 3: -20 lines (initialization + conversion)
• Pattern 4: -25 lines (initialization + conversion, keep normalizer)
• Total: -90 lines (conservative estimate)

Maintainability Improvements

• Single source of truth for initialization
• Unified conversion pipeline
• Easier to add new patterns
• Reduced cognitive load

Testing Requirements

• All 4 patterns must pass existing tests
• No behavioral changes
• SSA-undef checks must pass

Migration Guide

Before (Pattern 1)

let loop_var_name = self.extract_loop_variable_from_condition(condition)?;
let loop_var_id = self.variable_map.get(&loop_var_name).copied()?;
let mut boundary = JoinInlineBoundary::new_inputs_only(...);
boundary.loop_var_name = Some(loop_var_name.clone());
let mir_module = convert_join_module_to_mir_with_meta(&join_module, &empty_meta)?;
let exit_phi_result = self.merge_joinir_mir_blocks(&mir_module, Some(&boundary), debug)?;

After (Pattern 1)

use super::common_init::CommonPatternInitializer;
use super::conversion_pipeline::JoinIRConversionPipeline;

let (loop_var_name, loop_var_id, _carrier_info) =
    CommonPatternInitializer::initialize_pattern(self, condition, &self.variable_map, None)?;

let mut boundary = JoinInlineBoundary::new_inputs_only(
    vec![ValueId(0)],
    vec![loop_var_id],
);
boundary.loop_var_name = Some(loop_var_name.clone());

let exit_phi_result = JoinIRConversionPipeline::execute(
    self,
    join_module,
    Some(&boundary),
    "pattern1",
    debug,
)?;

Success Criteria
