WhileNode class

Represents a while loop statement in Balbismo.

A while node implements iterative execution based on a condition. The loop body is executed repeatedly as long as the condition evaluates to non-zero (true). The condition is checked before each iteration, so the loop may execute zero or more times.

Example Balbismo code:

int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {    // This is a WhileNode
  printf("%d\n", i);
  i = i + 1;
}

This generates LLVM IR with a loop structure:

br label %while.0
while.0:
  ; evaluate condition
  %conditionCast.0 = icmp ne i64 %i, 0
  br i1 %conditionCast.0, label %block.0, label %end.0
block.0:
  ; loop body code
  br label %while.0
end.0:
