+  // Why does using `IHTRLayer &current_layer = m_instruction_layer;` not work?
+  HTRInstructionLayer instruction_layer = m_instruction_layer;
+  HTRBlockLayer current_layer = BasicSuperBlockMerge(instruction_layer);

----------------
Any idea why the "Edit" I made above does not work?
I tried this first but after using lldb to understand why it wasn't working, it appeared that `current_layer = new_block_layer` wasn't properly updating the value stored in `current_layer`. I thought that using a reference to an abstract class as the type for `current_layer` would allow this variable to bind to any value that implements the interface, but after changing the code to only use concrete types (the non-edited version of this code), the code behaves as expected.
