314 Comment about interestingCallContext
315 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
316 We want to avoid inlining an expression where there can't possibly be
317 any gain, such as in an argument position. Hence, if the continuation
318 is interesting (eg. a case scrutinee, application etc.) then we
319 inline, otherwise we don't.
321 Previously some_benefit used to return True only if the variable was
322 applied to some value arguments. This didn't work:
324 let x = _coerce_ (T Int) Int (I# 3) in
325 case _coerce_ Int (T Int) x of
328 we want to inline x, but can't see that it's a constructor in a case
329 scrutinee position, and some_benefit is False.
333 dMonadST = _/\_ t -> :Monad (g1 _@_ t, g2 _@_ t, g3 _@_ t)
335 .... case dMonadST _@_ x0 of (a,b,c) -> ....
337 we'd really like to inline dMonadST here, but we *don't* want to
338 inline if the case expression is just
340 case x of y { DEFAULT -> ... }
342 since we can just eliminate this case instead (x is in WHNF). Similar
343 applies when x is bound to a lambda expression. Hence
344 contIsInteresting looks for case expressions with just a single
348 interestingCallContext :: Bool -- False <=> no args at all
349 -> Bool -- False <=> no value args
351 -- The "lone-variable" case is important. I spent ages
352 -- messing about with unsatisfactory varaints, but this is nice.
353 -- The idea is that if a variable appear all alone
354 -- as an arg of lazy fn, or rhs Stop
355 -- as scrutinee of a case Select
356 -- as arg of a strict fn ArgOf
357 -- then we should not inline it (unless there is some other reason,
358 -- e.g. is is the sole occurrence). We achieve this by making
359 -- interestingCallContext return False for a lone variable.
361 -- Why? At least in the case-scrutinee situation, turning
362 -- let x = (a,b) in case x of y -> ...
364 -- let x = (a,b) in case (a,b) of y -> ...
366 -- let x = (a,b) in let y = (a,b) in ...
367 -- is bad if the binding for x will remain.
369 -- Another example: I discovered that strings
370 -- were getting inlined straight back into applications of 'error'
371 -- because the latter is strict.
373 -- f = \x -> ...(error s)...
375 -- Fundamentally such contexts should not ecourage inlining because
376 -- the context can ``see'' the unfolding of the variable (e.g. case or a RULE)
377 -- so there's no gain.
379 -- However, even a type application or coercion isn't a lone variable.
381 -- case $fMonadST @ RealWorld of { :DMonad a b c -> c }
382 -- We had better inline that sucker! The case won't see through it.
384 -- For now, I'm treating treating a variable applied to types
385 -- in a *lazy* context "lone". The motivating example was
387 -- g = /\a. \y. h (f a)
388 -- There's no advantage in inlining f here, and perhaps
389 -- a significant disadvantage. Hence some_val_args in the Stop case

402 -- If this call is the arg of a strict function, the context

406 -- Here the contIsInteresting makes the '*' keener to inline,
407 -- which in turn exposes a constructor which makes the '+' inline.
408 -- Assuming that +,* aren't small enough to inline regardless.
410 -- It's also very important to inline in a strict context for things
413 -- Here, the context of (f x) is strict, and if f's unfolding is
414 -- a build it's *great* to inline it here. So we must ensure that

470 \subsection{Decisions about inlining}
472 %************************************************************************
474 Inlining is controlled partly by the SimplifierMode switch. This has two
477 SimplGently (a) Simplifying before specialiser/full laziness
478 (b) Simplifiying inside INLINE pragma
479 (c) Simplifying the LHS of a rule
480 (d) Simplifying a GHCi expression or Template
483 SimplPhase n Used at all other times
485 The key thing about SimplGently is that it does no call-site inlining.
486 Before full laziness we must be careful not to inline wrappers,
487 because doing so inhibits floating
488 e.g. ...(case f x of ...)...
489 ==> ...(case (case x of I# x# -> fw x#) of ...)...
490 ==> ...(case x of I# x# -> case fw x# of ...)...
491 and now the redex (f x) isn't floatable any more.
493 The no-inlining thing is also important for Template Haskell. You might be
494 compiling in one-shot mode with -O2; but when TH compiles a splice before
495 running it, we don't want to use -O2. Indeed, we don't want to inline
496 anything, because the byte-code interpreter might get confused about
497 unboxed tuples and suchlike.
501 SimplGently is also used as the mode to simplify inside an InlineMe note.
504 inlineMode :: SimplifierMode
505 inlineMode = SimplGently
508 It really is important to switch off inlinings inside such
509 expressions. Consider the following example
515 in ...g...g...g...g...g...
517 Now, if that's the ONLY occurrence of f, it will be inlined inside g,
518 and thence copied multiple times when g is inlined.
521 This function may be inlinined in other modules, so we
522 don't want to remove (by inlining) calls to functions that have
523 specialisations, or that may have transformation rules in an importing
526 E.g. {-# INLINE f #-}
529 and suppose that g is strict *and* has specialisations. If we inline
530 g's wrapper, we deny f the chance of getting the specialised version
531 of g when f is inlined at some call site (perhaps in some other
534 It's also important not to inline a worker back into a wrapper.
536 wraper = inline_me (\x -> ...worker... )
537 Normally, the inline_me prevents the worker getting inlined into
538 the wrapper (initially, the worker's only call site!). But,
539 if the wrapper is sure to be called, the strictness analyser will
540 mark it 'demanded', so when the RHS is simplified, it'll get an ArgOf
541 continuation. That's why the keep_inline predicate returns True for
542 ArgOf continuations. It shouldn't do any harm not to dissolve the
543 inline-me note under these circumstances.
545 Note that the result is that we do very little simplification
548 all xs = foldr (&&) True xs
549 any p = all . map p {-# INLINE any #-}
551 Problem: any won't get deforested, and so if it's exported and the
552 importer doesn't use the inlining, (eg passes it as an arg) then we
553 won't get deforestation at all. We havn't solved this problem yet!
556 preInlineUnconditionally
557 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
558 @preInlineUnconditionally@ examines a bndr to see if it is used just
559 once in a completely safe way, so that it is safe to discard the
560 binding inline its RHS at the (unique) usage site, REGARDLESS of how
561 big the RHS might be. If this is the case we don't simplify the RHS
562 first, but just inline it un-simplified.
564 This is much better than first simplifying a perhaps-huge RHS and then
565 inlining and re-simplifying it. Indeed, it can be at least quadratically
574 We may end up simplifying e1 N times, e2 N-1 times, e3 N-3 times etc.
575 This can happen with cascades of functions too:
582 THE MAIN INVARIANT is this:
584 ---- preInlineUnconditionally invariant -----
585 IF preInlineUnconditionally chooses to inline x = <rhs>
586 THEN doing the inlining should not change the occurrence
587 info for the free vars of <rhs>
588 ----------------------------------------------
590 For example, it's tempting to look at trivial binding like
592 and inline it unconditionally. But suppose x is used many times,
593 but this is the unique occurrence of y. Then inlining x would change
594 y's occurrence info, which breaks the invariant. It matters: y
595 might have a BIG rhs, which will now be dup'd at every occurrenc of x.
598 Evne RHSs labelled InlineMe aren't caught here, because there might be
599 no benefit from inlining at the call site.
601 [Sept 01] Don't unconditionally inline a top-level thing, because that
602 can simply make a static thing into something built dynamically. E.g.
606 [Remember that we treat \s as a one-shot lambda.] No point in
607 inlining x unless there is something interesting about the call site.
609 But watch out: if you aren't careful, some useful foldr/build fusion
610 can be lost (most notably in spectral/hartel/parstof) because the
611 foldr didn't see the build. Doing the dynamic allocation isn't a big
612 deal, in fact, but losing the fusion can be. But the right thing here
613 seems to be to do a callSiteInline based on the fact that there is
614 something interesting about the call site (it's strict). Hmm. That
617 Conclusion: inline top level things gaily until Phase 0 (the last
618 phase), at which point don't.

686 postInlineUnconditionally
687 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
688 @postInlineUnconditionally@ decides whether to unconditionally inline
689 a thing based on the form of its RHS; in particular if it has a
690 trivial RHS. If so, we can inline and discard the binding altogether.
692 NB: a loop breaker has must_keep_binding = True and non-loop-breakers
693 only have *forward* references Hence, it's safe to discard the binding
695 NOTE: This isn't our last opportunity to inline. We're at the binding
696 site right now, and we'll get another opportunity when we get to the
699 Note that we do this unconditional inlining only for trival RHSs.
700 Don't inline even WHNFs inside lambdas; doing so may simply increase
701 allocation when the function is called. This isn't the last chance; see
704 NB: Even inline pragmas (e.g. IMustBeINLINEd) are ignored here Why?
705 Because we don't even want to inline them into the RHS of constructor
706 arguments. See NOTE above
708 NB: At one time even NOINLINE was ignored here: if the rhs is trivial
709 it's best to inline it anyway. We often get a=E; b=a from desugaring,
710 with both a and b marked NOINLINE. But that seems incompatible with
711 our new view that inlining is like a RULE, so I'm sticking to the 'active'

955 \subsection{Floating lets out of big lambdas}
957 %************************************************************************
959 tryRhsTyLam tries this transformation, when the big lambda appears as
960 the RHS of a let(rec) binding:
962 /\abc -> let(rec) x = e in b
964 let(rec) x' = /\abc -> let x = x' a b c in e
966 /\abc -> let x = x' a b c in b
968 This is good because it can turn things like:
970 let f = /\a -> letrec g = ... g ... in g
972 letrec g' = /\a -> ... g' a ...
976 which is better. In effect, it means that big lambdas don't impede
979 This optimisation is CRUCIAL in eliminating the junk introduced by
980 desugaring mutually recursive definitions. Don't eliminate it lightly!
982 So far as the implementation is concerned:
984 Invariant: go F e = /\tvs -> F e
988 = Let x' = /\tvs -> F e
992 G = F . Let x = x' tvs
994 go F (Letrec xi=ei in b)
995 = Letrec {xi' = /\tvs -> G ei}
999 G = F . Let {xi = xi' tvs}
1001 [May 1999] If we do this transformation *regardless* then we can
1002 end up with some pretty silly stuff. For example,
1005 st = /\ s -> let { x1=r1 ; x2=r2 } in ...
1010 st = /\s -> ...[y1 s/x1, y2 s/x2]
1013 Unless the "..." is a WHNF there is really no point in doing this.
1014 Indeed it can make things worse. Suppose x1 is used strictly,
1017 x1* = case f y of { (a,b) -> e }
1019 If we abstract this wrt the tyvar we then can't do the case inline
1020 as we would normally do.

1152 mkCase1 scrut case_bndr ty better_alts
1156 mkAlts tries these things:
1158 1. If several alternatives are identical, merge them into
1159 a single DEFAULT alternative. I've occasionally seen this
1160 making a big difference:
1162 case e of =====> case e of
1163 C _ -> f x D v -> ....v....
1164 D v -> ....v.... DEFAULT -> f x
1167 The point is that we merge common RHSs, at least for the DEFAULT case.
1168 [One could do something more elaborate but I've never seen it needed.]
1169 To avoid an expensive test, we just merge branches equal to the *first*
1170 alternative; this picks up the common cases
1171 a) all branches equal
1172 b) some branches equal to the DEFAULT (which occurs first)
1175 case e of b { ==> case e of b {
1176 p1 -> rhs1 p1 -> rhs1
1178 pm -> rhsm pm -> rhsm
1179 _ -> case b of b' { pn -> let b'=b in rhsn
1181 ... po -> let b'=b in rhso
1182 po -> rhso _ -> let b'=b in rhsd
1186 which merges two cases in one case when -- the default alternative of
1187 the outer case scrutises the same variable as the outer case This
1188 transformation is called Case Merging. It avoids that the same
1189 variable is scrutinised multiple times.
1192 The case where transformation (1) showed up was like this (lib/std/PrelCError.lhs):
1198 where @is@ was something like
1200 p `is` n = p /= (-1) && p == n

1270 =================================================================================
1272 mkCase1 tries these things
1274 1. Eliminate the case altogether if possible
1282 and similar friends.
1285 Start with a simple situation:
1287 case x# of ===> e[x#/y#]
1290 (when x#, y# are of primitive type, of course). We can't (in general)
1291 do this for algebraic cases, because we might turn bottom into
1294 Actually, we generalise this idea to look for a case where we're
1295 scrutinising a variable, and we know that only the default case can
1300 other -> ...(case x of
1304 Here the inner case can be eliminated. This really only shows up in
1305 eliminating error-checking code.
1307 We also make sure that we deal with this very common case:
1312 Here we are using the case as a strict let; if x is used only once
1313 then we want to inline it. We have to be careful that this doesn't
1314 make the program terminate when it would have diverged before, so we
1316 - x is used strictly, or
1317 - e is already evaluated (it may so if e is a variable)
1319 Lastly, we generalise the transformation to handle this:
1325 We only do this for very cheaply compared r's (constructors, literals
1326 and variables). If pedantic bottoms is on, we only do it when the
1327 scrutinee is a PrimOp which can't fail.
1329 We do it *here*, looking at un-simplified alternatives, because we
1330 have to check that r doesn't mention the variables bound by the
1331 pattern in each alternative, so the binder-info is rather useful.
1333 So the case-elimination algorithm is:
1335 1. Eliminate alternatives which can't match
1337 2. Check whether all the remaining alternatives
1338 (a) do not mention in their rhs any of the variables bound in their pattern
1339 and (b) have equal rhss
1341 3. Check we can safely ditch the case:
1342 * PedanticBottoms is off,
1343 or * the scrutinee is an already-evaluated variable
1344 or * the scrutinee is a primop which is ok for speculation
1345 -- ie we want to preserve divide-by-zero errors, and
1346 -- calls to error itself!
1348 or * [Prim cases] the scrutinee is a primitive variable
1350 or * [Alg cases] the scrutinee is a variable and
1351 either * the rhs is the same variable
1352 (eg case x of C a b -> x ===> x)
1353 or * there is only one alternative, the default alternative,
1354 and the binder is used strictly in its scope.
1355 [NB this is helped by the "use default binder where
1356 possible" transformation; see below.]
1359 If so, then we can replace the case with one of the rhss.
1361 Further notes about case elimination
1362 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1363 Consider: test :: Integer -> IO ()
1366 Turns out that this compiles to:
1369 eta1 :: State# RealWorld ->
1370 case PrelNum.< eta PrelNum.zeroInteger of wild { __DEFAULT ->
1372 (PrelNum.jtos eta ($w[] @ Char))
1374 of wild1 { (# new_s, a4 #) -> PrelIO.lvl23 new_s }}
1376 Notice the strange '<' which has no effect at all. This is a funny one.
1377 It started like this:
1379 f x y = if x < 0 then jtos x
1380 else if y==0 then "" else jtos x
1382 At a particular call site we have (f v 1). So we inline to get
1384 if v < 0 then jtos x
1385 else if 1==0 then "" else jtos x
1387 Now simplify the 1==0 conditional:
1389 if v<0 then jtos v else jtos v
1391 Now common-up the two branches of the case:
1393 case (v<0) of DEFAULT -> jtos v
1395 Why don't we drop the case? Because it's strict in v. It's technically
1396 wrong to drop even unnecessary evaluations, and in practice they
1397 may be a result of 'seq' so we *definitely* don't want to drop those.
1398 I don't really know how to improve this situation.

1499 When adding auxiliary bindings for the case binder, it's worth checking if

1501 cascade rather nicely.
