Complex classes like Generator often do a lot of different things. To break such a class down, we need to identify a cohesive component within that class. A common approach to find such a component is to look for fields/methods that share the same prefixes, or suffixes. You can also have a look at the cohesion graph to spot any un-connected, or weakly-connected components.
Once you have determined the fields that belong together, you can apply the Extract Class refactoring. If the component makes sense as a sub-class, Extract Subclass is also a candidate, and is often faster.
While breaking up the class, it is a good idea to analyze how other classes use Generator, and based on these observations, apply Extract Interface, too.

This check looks for variable assignements that are either overwritten by other assignments or where the variable is not used subsequently.
Both the
$myVar
assignment in line 1 and the$higher
assignment in line 2 are dead. The first because$myVar
is never used and the second because$higher
is always overwritten for every possible time line.
