# 도달 가능성 분석 (Reachability Analysis)

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 program point 가 매 실행될 수 있는지 매 control flow graph 위에서 결정"**. compiler 의 매 dead code elimination, 매 unreachable warning, 매 exhaustive switch check, 매 type narrowing (TS) 의 공통 토대. 매 forward / backward CFG traversal + 매 lattice 위 fixed-point.

## 매 핵심

### 매 정의
- **CFG (Control Flow Graph)**: 매 basic block 노드 + 매 control edge.
- **Reachable**: 매 entry 에서 매 path 가 존재.
- **Forward analysis**: 매 entry → 매 모든 노드.
- **Backward analysis**: 매 exit ← 매 모든 노드 (liveness 등).

### 매 lattice
- 매 `{Reachable, Unreachable}` — 매 simple Boolean lattice.
- 매 transfer function: 매 block end 에서 매 successor 로 propagate.
- 매 join: 매 OR (predecessor 중 하나라도 reachable 이면 reachable).

### 매 응용
1. Dead code elimination (compile-time).
2. Unreachable code warning (TS, Java, Rust).
3. Exhaustive switch check (TS `never`, Rust `!`).
4. Liveness analysis (register allocation).
5. Type narrowing (TypeScript control-flow analysis).

## 💻 패턴

### CFG construction (simple imperative)
```ts
type BB = { id: string; stmts: Stmt[]; succ: string[] };

function buildCFG(fn: FunctionAST): Map<string, BB> {
  const blocks = new Map<string, BB>();
  let cur: BB = { id: "entry", stmts: [], succ: [] };
  blocks.set("entry", cur);
  for (const s of fn.body) {
    if (s.kind === "if") {
      const thenId = freshId(), elseId = freshId(), joinId = freshId();
      cur.succ = [thenId, elseId];
      const thenB: BB = { id: thenId, stmts: s.then, succ: [joinId] };
      const elseB: BB = { id: elseId, stmts: s.else ?? [], succ: [joinId] };
      const joinB: BB = { id: joinId, stmts: [], succ: [] };
      blocks.set(thenId, thenB);
      blocks.set(elseId, elseB);
      blocks.set(joinId, joinB);
      cur = joinB;
    } else if (s.kind === "return") {
      cur.stmts.push(s);
      cur.succ = [];
      cur = { id: freshId(), stmts: [], succ: [] };
      blocks.set(cur.id, cur);
    } else {
      cur.stmts.push(s);
    }
  }
  return blocks;
}
```

### Forward reachability (worklist)
```ts
function reachableSet(cfg: Map<string, BB>): Set<string> {
  const reachable = new Set<string>(["entry"]);
  const worklist: string[] = ["entry"];
  while (worklist.length > 0) {
    const id = worklist.pop()!;
    const bb = cfg.get(id)!;
    for (const s of bb.succ) {
      if (!reachable.has(s)) {
        reachable.add(s);
        worklist.push(s);
      }
    }
  }
  return reachable;
}

function unreachableBlocks(cfg: Map<string, BB>): string[] {
  const r = reachableSet(cfg);
  return [...cfg.keys()].filter(id => !r.has(id));
}
```

### TS exhaustive switch (`never` reach)
```ts
type Shape =
  | { kind: "circle"; r: number }
  | { kind: "square"; side: number }
  | { kind: "triangle"; base: number; height: number };

function area(s: Shape): number {
  switch (s.kind) {
    case "circle": return Math.PI * s.r ** 2;
    case "square": return s.side ** 2;
    case "triangle": return s.base * s.height / 2;
    default:
      const _exhaustive: never = s;
      throw new Error(`unreachable: ${_exhaustive}`);
  }
}
```

### TS control-flow type narrowing (reachability + narrowing)
```ts
function process(input: string | null) {
  if (input === null) {
    return "no input";
  }
  return input.toUpperCase();
}

function withReturn(x: number) {
  if (x < 0) {
    return -1;
  }
  return x * 2;
}
```

### Dead code after return
```ts
function foo() {
  return 42;
  console.log("unreachable");  // 매 TS warning ts(7027)
}
```

### Java unreachable statement (JLS 14.21)
```java
void example() {
    while (true) {
        if (cond()) break;
    }
    System.out.println("ok");

    while (true) {}
    System.out.println("dead"); // 매 compile error
}
```

### LLVM dead-code elimination (conceptual)
```llvm
; 매 before
define i32 @foo() {
entry:
  ret i32 42
  %dead = add i32 1, 2
  ret i32 %dead
}

; 매 after DCE pass
define i32 @foo() {
entry:
  ret i32 42
}
```

### Liveness (backward reachability)
```ts
function liveness(cfg: Map<string, BB>): Map<string, Set<string>> {
  const liveOut = new Map<string, Set<string>>();
  for (const id of cfg.keys()) liveOut.set(id, new Set());
  let changed = true;
  while (changed) {
    changed = false;
    for (const [id, bb] of cfg) {
      const live = new Set<string>();
      for (const s of bb.succ) {
        for (const v of liveOut.get(s) ?? []) live.add(v);
      }
      const def = defsOf(bb), use = usesOf(bb);
      const liveIn = new Set([...use, ...[...live].filter(v => !def.has(v))]);
      if (!eqSet(liveIn, liveOut.get(id)!)) {
        liveOut.set(id, liveIn);
        changed = true;
      }
    }
  }
  return liveOut;
}
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 목적 | 알고리즘 |
|---|---|
| Dead code elimination | Forward reachability + DCE pass |
| Exhaustive switch | Type narrowing → `never` 도달 |
| Unreachable warning | Forward reach + report unreachable BB |
| Liveness (register alloc) | Backward dataflow |
| Static deadlock / null check | Symbolic + reach |

**기본값**: Forward worklist algorithm + Boolean lattice. 매 type narrowing 매 data-flow + reach 결합.

## 🔗 Graph

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: 매 compiler 설계, 매 linter 작성, 매 IDE feature, 매 type system 분석.
**언제 X**: 매 application code 작성 (매 compiler 가 자동 처리).

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Path-sensitive 가정 X**: 매 conditional reach 무시 — 매 false positive 폭증.
- **Loop fixed-point 누락**: 매 1-pass 만 — 매 cycle 미처리.
- **Exception edge 무시**: 매 throw 후 reach 잘못 — 매 catch 매 edge.
- **Switch fallthrough 모델링 X**: 매 C/Java fall-through case 매 단일 successor.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복

- 신뢰도 A.
