Struct BoxTransformer 

pub struct BoxTransformer;

Transformer for converting malloc patterns to Box::new().

Implementations

impl BoxTransformer

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new Box transformer.

pub fn transform_malloc_to_box( &self, _malloc_expr: &HirExpression, pointee_type: &HirType, ) -> HirExpression

Transform a malloc expression into a Box::new() expression.

Converts patterns like:

• malloc(sizeof(T)) → Box::new(T::default())
• malloc(size) → Box::new(T::default())

For now, we generate a default-initialized Box since we don’t have sizeof analysis yet. This will be enhanced in future phases.

pub fn transform_statement( &self, stmt: &HirStatement, _candidate: &BoxCandidate, ) -> HirStatement

Transform a statement containing malloc into one using Box::new().

Takes a VariableDeclaration or Assignment with malloc and transforms it. Converts both the malloc expression AND the variable type from Pointer to Box.
