For instance, a rule cannot suggest a \code{HashSet} instead of a \code{LinkedList} as the two are not semantically identical.
Chameleon has no way of knowing if doing so will break the program's functionality and so it does not make the suggestion.

\cite{hutchison_coco_2013} and \cite{osterlund_dynamically_2013} use similar techniques, but work as the program runs.
This works well for programs with different phases of execution, such as loading and then working on data.
However, the overhead from profiling and from checking rules may not be worth the improvements in other programs, where access patterns are roughly the same throughout.
