    Infinite Loop Risk

    Using while True with a continue on empty deque may prevent reaching the break condition, causing a potential infinite loop.

    while True:
        done = True if future_line_profile_results is None else future_line_profile_results.done()
        if done and (future_line_profile_results is not None):
            line_profile_results = future_line_profile_results.result()
            candidates.extend(line_profile_results)
            original_len += len(line_profile_results)
            logger.info(
                f"Added results from line profiler to candidates, total candidates now: {original_len}"
            )
            future_line_profile_results = None
        try:
            candidate = candidates.popleft()
        except IndexError as e:
            continue
    Busy-Waiting

    Catching IndexError and immediately continuing the loop without delay can lead to high CPU usage; consider adding a sleep or adjusting the control flow.

    try:
        candidate = candidates.popleft()
    except IndexError as e:
        continue

    Possible issue
    Break on empty queue after profiling

    Stop looping when profiling is complete and no more candidates are available by
    breaking out of the loop instead of spinning on empty deque.

    codeflash/optimization/function_optimizer.py [406-409]

     try:
         candidate = candidates.popleft()
    -except IndexError as e:
    +except IndexError:
    +    if done:
    +        break
         continue
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

    __

    Why: The change ensures that when done is true and the deque is empty, the loop breaks instead of busy-waiting, preventing unnecessary iterations and potential infinite loops.

    Medium
    Relocate loop exit check

    Move the loop exit check immediately after computing done so the loop can terminate
    before attempting to pop from an empty deque and avoid unnecessary iterations.

    codeflash/optimization/function_optimizer.py [518-519]

    +done = future_line_profile_results is None or future_line_profile_results.done()
     if done and not candidates:
         break
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

    __

    Why: Moving the if done and not candidates: check immediately after computing done lets the loop terminate sooner, avoiding extra work and empty deque operations.
