Description
It should be feasible to perform a pre-execution analysis of branches to be explored just by examining the Solidity code; for example, the conditional statements and overflow checks. This would allow us to perform a substantial part of the execution straight-line, likely resulting in a speed-up.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first locate the CSE implementation and its branch and overflow handling. Clarify the intended Solidity constructs and success criteria with maintainers; completion would need agreed analysis behavior plus tests or benchmarks demonstrating the expected speed-up.
