### Code Example
```codenothing
using lib <io>;

fn main(): int {
// These variables will be marked as safe (local scope, single assignment)
    a : int = 10;
    b : int = 20;
    c : int = 30;

//大量变量访问,生命周期优化会跳过运行时检查
    result : int = 0;
    i : int = 0;
    while (i < 100) {
temp : int = a + b + c;  // Optimized variable access
        result = result + temp;
        i = i + 1;
    };

println("Optimization test completed");
    return 0;
};

🎯 Technical Highlights

1. Compile-Time Analysis

  • Scope Tracking: Precisely tracks the boundaries of variable scopes
  • Pattern Recognition Usage: Identifies patterns such as single assignment, local scope, function parameters, etc.
  • Safety Guarantee: Optimization is performed only on variables that are confirmed to be safe

2. Runtime Optimization

  • Fast Access Paths: Safe variables use the fastest access methods
  • JIT Collaboration: Works synergistically with existing JIT compilers
  • Zero rollback cost: No additional expenses when optimization fails

3. Debugging Experience

  • Clean output: Default without debugging information, program output is clear
  • On-demand debugging: Only displays the necessary debugging information
  • Developer-friendly: Provides detailed analysis and optimization information
