Description

It would be interesting to see if any of these representations: https://github.com/runtimeverification/llvm-backend/blob/e2f583a05b9bf362deabd58f8acc1ce534aaf4c4/lib/ast/pattern_matching.cpp#L108 are dead code

More generally, it would be interesting to run a coverage testing tool on the LLVM backend test suite to see if there is dead code anywhere else.

Research direction

Start by inspecting lib/ast/pattern_matching.cpp around line 108 and the LLVM backend test suite. Determine whether the listed pattern representations are exercised, then investigate coverage testing for other unexecuted code. Done means documenting the dead-code findings and the broader coverage results, with any follow-up changes agreed separately.
