Enclosing class:

DeadCodeElimination

public class DeadCodeElimination.DeadCodeVisitor
extends JModVisitor

Eliminates dead or unreachable code when possible, and makes local simplifications like changing "x || true" to "x". This visitor should perform all of its optimizations in a single pass. Except in rare cases, running this pass multiple times should produce no changes after the first pass. The only currently known exception to this rule is in endVisit(JNewInstance, Context), where the target constructor may be non-empty at the beginning of DCE and become empty during the run, which potentially unlocks optimizations at call sites. TODO: leverage ignoring expression output more to remove intermediary operations in favor of pure side effects. TODO: move more simplifications into methods like simplifyCast, so that more simplifications can be made on a single pass through a tree.
