+Top-level constructor applications can usually be allocated
+statically, but they can't if
+ a) the constructor, or any of the arguments, come from another DLL
+ b) any of the arguments are LitLits
+(because we can't refer to static labels in other DLLs).
+
+If this happens we simply make the RHS into an updatable thunk,
+and 'exectute' it rather than allocating it statically.
+
+\begin{code}
+rhsIsStatic :: CoreExpr -> Bool
+-- This function is called only on *top-level* right-hand sides
+-- Returns True if the RHS can be allocated statically, with
+-- no thunks involved at all.
+--
+-- It's called (i) in TidyPgm.hasCafRefs to decide if the rhs is, or
+-- refers to, CAFs; and (ii) in CoreToStg to decide whether to put an
+-- update flag on it.
+--
+-- The basic idea is that rhsIsStatic returns True only if the RHS is
+-- (a) a value lambda
+-- (b) a saturated constructor application with static args
+--
+-- BUT watch out for
+-- (i) Any cross-DLL references kill static-ness completely
+-- because they must be 'executed' not statically allocated
+--
+-- (ii) We treat partial applications as redexes, because in fact we
+-- make a thunk for them that runs and builds a PAP
+-- at run-time. The only appliations that are treated as
+-- static are *saturated* applications of constructors.
+
+-- We used to try to be clever with nested structures like this:
+-- ys = (:) w ((:) w [])
+-- on the grounds that CorePrep will flatten ANF-ise it later.
+-- But supporting this special case made the function much more
+-- complicated, because the special case only applies if there are no
+-- enclosing type lambdas:
+-- ys = /\ a -> Foo (Baz ([] a))
+-- Here the nested (Baz []) won't float out to top level in CorePrep.
+--
+-- But in fact, even without -O, nested structures at top level are
+-- flattened by the simplifier, so we don't need to be super-clever here.
+--
+-- Examples
+--
+-- f = \x::Int. x+7 TRUE
+-- p = (True,False) TRUE
+--
+-- d = (fst p, False) FALSE because there's a redex inside
+-- (this particular one doesn't happen but...)
+--
+-- h = D# (1.0## /## 2.0##) FALSE (redex again)
+-- n = /\a. Nil a TRUE
+--
+-- t = /\a. (:) (case w a of ...) (Nil a) FALSE (redex)
+--
+--
+-- This is a bit like CoreUtils.exprIsValue, with the following differences:
+-- a) scc "foo" (\x -> ...) is updatable (so we catch the right SCC)
+--
+-- b) (C x xs), where C is a contructors is updatable if the application is
+-- dynamic
+--
+-- c) don't look through unfolding of f in (f x).
+--
+-- When opt_RuntimeTypes is on, we keep type lambdas and treat
+-- them as making the RHS re-entrant (non-updatable).
