Gergo Magyar cda4cac27f perf(cfg): bound the reaching-defs fixpoint with a per-block visit ceiling (#2195)
The per-language verification swarm reproduced, AT PRODUCTION DEFAULTS, a
reaching-defs blow-up: a machine-generated ~2000-line all-loops function (under
DEFAULT_PDG_MAX_FUNCTION_LINES) reaches ~10k basic blocks because loops emit ~5
blocks/line, and the dataflow fixpoint is O(blocks^2.3) on deep loop nests —
measured 62s (C/C++) and 2.05s + 810MB (Go) for ONE function. maxFacts does not
help: the fact count stays LINEAR, so it never fires.

Iterative reaching-defs on a reducible CFG converges in O(loop-nesting-depth)
passes, so a worklist re-visits each block a small multiple of times for real
code. Add a maxBlockVisits ceiling (emit passes blocks.length × 64 — far beyond
any hand-written nesting depth, ~15) that bails when the fixpoint has not
converged. An unconverged fixpoint's in/out sets are not sound, so it returns
NO facts (status 'truncated', like the existing 'overflow' guard) — a per-
function coverage gap, never wrong facts. Real code is byte-identical: full cfg
suites 725 passed, bench --check fingerprints unchanged.

NOTE: computeControlDependence's O(N²) up-walk on deep post-dom chains is the
sibling concern but stays ~13ms in production (bounded by the line cap + the
CDG materialization cap); a CDG work-budget is a documented follow-up.
