+
+Comment about interestingCallContext
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+We want to avoid inlining an expression where there can't possibly be
+any gain, such as in an argument position. Hence, if the continuation
+is interesting (eg. a case scrutinee, application etc.) then we
+inline, otherwise we don't.
+
+Previously some_benefit used to return True only if the variable was
+applied to some value arguments. This didn't work:
+
+ let x = _coerce_ (T Int) Int (I# 3) in
+ case _coerce_ Int (T Int) x of
+ I# y -> ....
+
+we want to inline x, but can't see that it's a constructor in a case
+scrutinee position, and some_benefit is False.
+
+Another example:
+
+dMonadST = _/\_ t -> :Monad (g1 _@_ t, g2 _@_ t, g3 _@_ t)
+
+.... case dMonadST _@_ x0 of (a,b,c) -> ....
+
+we'd really like to inline dMonadST here, but we *don't* want to
+inline if the case expression is just
+
+ case x of y { DEFAULT -> ... }
+
+since we can just eliminate this case instead (x is in WHNF). Similar
+applies when x is bound to a lambda expression. Hence
+contIsInteresting looks for case expressions with just a single
+default case.
+
+\begin{code}
+interestingCallContext :: Bool -- False <=> no args at all
+ -> Bool -- False <=> no value args
+ -> SimplCont -> Bool
+ -- The "lone-variable" case is important. I spent ages
+ -- messing about with unsatisfactory varaints, but this is nice.
+ -- The idea is that if a variable appear all alone
+ -- as an arg of lazy fn, or rhs Stop
+ -- as scrutinee of a case Select
+ -- as arg of a strict fn ArgOf
+ -- then we should not inline it (unless there is some other reason,
+ -- e.g. is is the sole occurrence). We achieve this by making
+ -- interestingCallContext return False for a lone variable.
+ --
+ -- Why? At least in the case-scrutinee situation, turning
+ -- let x = (a,b) in case x of y -> ...
+ -- into
+ -- let x = (a,b) in case (a,b) of y -> ...
+ -- and thence to
+ -- let x = (a,b) in let y = (a,b) in ...
+ -- is bad if the binding for x will remain.
+ --
+ -- Another example: I discovered that strings
+ -- were getting inlined straight back into applications of 'error'
+ -- because the latter is strict.
+ -- s = "foo"
+ -- f = \x -> ...(error s)...
+
+ -- Fundamentally such contexts should not ecourage inlining because
+ -- the context can ``see'' the unfolding of the variable (e.g. case or a RULE)
+ -- so there's no gain.
+ --
+ -- However, even a type application or coercion isn't a lone variable.
+ -- Consider
+ -- case $fMonadST @ RealWorld of { :DMonad a b c -> c }
+ -- We had better inline that sucker! The case won't see through it.
+ --
+ -- For now, I'm treating treating a variable applied to types
+ -- in a *lazy* context "lone". The motivating example was
+ -- f = /\a. \x. BIG
+ -- g = /\a. \y. h (f a)
+ -- There's no advantage in inlining f here, and perhaps
+ -- a significant disadvantage. Hence some_val_args in the Stop case
+
+interestingCallContext some_args some_val_args cont
+ = interesting cont
+ where
+ interesting (InlinePlease _) = True
+ interesting (Select _ _ _ _ _) = some_args
+ interesting (ApplyTo _ _ _ _) = True -- Can happen if we have (coerce t (f x)) y
+ -- Perhaps True is a bit over-keen, but I've
+ -- seen (coerce f) x, where f has an INLINE prag,
+ -- So we have to give some motivaiton for inlining it
+ interesting (ArgOf _ _ _ _) = some_val_args
+ interesting (Stop ty _ upd_in_place) = some_val_args && upd_in_place
+ interesting (CoerceIt _ cont) = interesting cont
+ -- If this call is the arg of a strict function, the context
+ -- is a bit interesting. If we inline here, we may get useful
+ -- evaluation information to avoid repeated evals: e.g.
+ -- x + (y * z)
+ -- Here the contIsInteresting makes the '*' keener to inline,
+ -- which in turn exposes a constructor which makes the '+' inline.
+ -- Assuming that +,* aren't small enough to inline regardless.
+ --
+ -- It's also very important to inline in a strict context for things
+ -- like
+ -- foldr k z (f x)
+ -- Here, the context of (f x) is strict, and if f's unfolding is
+ -- a build it's *great* to inline it here. So we must ensure that
+ -- the context for (f x) is not totally uninteresting.
+
+
+-------------------
+canUpdateInPlace :: Type -> Bool
+-- Consider let x = <wurble> in ...
+-- If <wurble> returns an explicit constructor, we might be able
+-- to do update in place. So we treat even a thunk RHS context
+-- as interesting if update in place is possible. We approximate
+-- this by seeing if the type has a single constructor with a
+-- small arity. But arity zero isn't good -- we share the single copy
+-- for that case, so no point in sharing.

+\subsection{Decisions about inlining}
+%* *
+%************************************************************************
+
+Inlining is controlled partly by the SimplifierMode switch. This has two
+settings:
+
+ SimplGently (a) Simplifying before specialiser/full laziness
+ (b) Simplifiying inside INLINE pragma
+ (c) Simplifying the LHS of a rule
+ (d) Simplifying a GHCi expression or Template
+ Haskell splice
+
+ SimplPhase n Used at all other times
+
+The key thing about SimplGently is that it does no call-site inlining.
+Before full laziness we must be careful not to inline wrappers,
+because doing so inhibits floating
+ e.g. ...(case f x of ...)...
+ ==> ...(case (case x of I# x# -> fw x#) of ...)...
+ ==> ...(case x of I# x# -> case fw x# of ...)...
+and now the redex (f x) isn't floatable any more.
+
+The no-inling thing is also important for Template Haskell. You might be
+compiling in one-shot mode with -O2; but when TH compiles a splice before
+running it, we don't want to use -O2. Indeed, we don't want to inline
+anything, because the byte-code interpreter might get confused about
+unboxed tuples and suchlike.
+
+INLINE pragmas
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+SimplGently is also used as the mode to simplify inside an InlineMe note.
