The guts of the simplifier is in this module, but the driver loop for
the simplifier is in SimplCore.lhs.


-----------------------------------------
        *** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
-----------------------------------------
The simplifier used to guarantee that the output had no shadowing, but
it does not do so any more.   (Actually, it never did!)  The reason is
documented with simplifyArgs.


-----------------------------------------
        *** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
-----------------------------------------
Many parts of the simplifier return a bunch of "floats" as well as an
expression. This is wrapped as a datatype SimplUtils.FloatsWith.

All "floats" are let-binds, not case-binds, but some non-rec lets may
be unlifted (with RHS ok-for-speculation).



-----------------------------------------
        ORGANISATION OF FUNCTIONS
-----------------------------------------
simplTopBinds
  - simplify all top-level binders
  - for NonRec, call simplRecOrTopPair
  - for Rec,    call simplRecBind


        ------------------------------
simplExpr (applied lambda)      ==> simplNonRecBind
simplExpr (Let (NonRec ...) ..) ==> simplNonRecBind
simplExpr (Let (Rec ...)    ..) ==> simplify binders; simplRecBind

        ------------------------------
simplRecBind    [binders already simplfied]
  - use simplRecOrTopPair on each pair in turn

simplRecOrTopPair [binder already simplified]
  Used for: recursive bindings (top level and nested)
            top-level non-recursive bindings
  Returns:
  - check for PreInlineUnconditionally
  - simplLazyBind

simplNonRecBind
  Used for: non-top-level non-recursive bindings
            beta reductions (which amount to the same thing)
  Because it can deal with strict arts, it takes a
        "thing-inside" and returns an expression

  - check for PreInlineUnconditionally
  - simplify binder, including its IdInfo
  - if strict binding
        simplStrictArg
        mkAtomicArgs
        completeNonRecX
    else
        simplLazyBind
        addFloats

simplNonRecX:   [given a *simplified* RHS, but an *unsimplified* binder]
  Used for: binding case-binder and constr args in a known-constructor case
  - check for PreInLineUnconditionally
  - simplify binder
  - completeNonRecX

        ------------------------------
simplLazyBind:  [binder already simplified, RHS not]
  Used for: recursive bindings (top level and nested)
            top-level non-recursive bindings
            non-top-level, but *lazy* non-recursive bindings
        [must not be strict or unboxed]
  Returns floats + an augmented environment, not an expression
  - substituteIdInfo and add result to in-scope
        [so that rules are available in rec rhs]
  - simplify rhs
  - mkAtomicArgs
  - float if exposes constructor or PAP
  - completeBind


completeNonRecX:        [binder and rhs both simplified]
  - if the the thing needs case binding (unlifted and not ok-for-spec)
        build a Case
   else
        completeBind
        addFloats

completeBind:   [given a simplified RHS]
        [used for both rec and non-rec bindings, top level and not]
  - try PostInlineUnconditionally
  - add unfolding [this is the only place we add an unfolding]
  - add arity



Right hand sides and arguments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In many ways we want to treat
        (a) the right hand side of a let(rec), and
        (b) a function argument
in the same way.  But not always!  In particular, we would
like to leave these arguments exactly as they are, so they
will match a RULE more easily.

        f (g x, h x)
        g (+ x)

It's harder to make the rule match if we ANF-ise the constructor,
or eta-expand the PAP:

        f (let { a = g x; b = h x } in (a,b))
        g (\y. + x y)

On the other hand if we see the let-defns

        p = (g x, h x)
        q = + x

then we *do* want to ANF-ise and eta-expand, so that p and q
can be safely inlined.

Even floating lets out is a bit dubious.  For let RHS's we float lets
out if that exposes a value, so that the value can be inlined more vigorously.
For example

        r = let x = e in (x,x)

Here, if we float the let out we'll expose a nice constructor. We did experiments
that showed this to be a generally good thing.  But it was a bad thing to float
lets out unconditionally, because that meant they got allocated more often.

For function arguments, there's less reason to expose a constructor (it won't
get inlined).  Just possibly it might make a rule match, but I'm pretty skeptical.
So for the moment we don't float lets out of function arguments either.


Eta expansion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For eta expansion, we want to catch things like

        case e of (a,b) -> \x -> case a of (p,q) -> \y -> r

If the \x was on the RHS of a let, we'd eta expand to bring the two
lambdas together.  And in general that's a good thing to do.  Perhaps
we should eta expand wherever we find a (value) lambda?  Then the eta
expansion at a let RHS can concentrate solely on the PAP case.

simplRecBind is used for
        * recursive bindings only

\begin{code}
simplRecBind :: SimplEnv -> TopLevelFlag
             -> [(InId, InExpr)]
             -> SimplM SimplEnv
simplRecBind env0 top_lvl pairs0

        ; env1 <- go (zapFloats env_with_info) triples
        ; return (env0 `addRecFloats` env1) }
        -- addFloats adds the floats from env1,
        -- _and_ updates env0 with the in-scope set from env1
  where
    add_rules :: SimplEnv -> (InBndr,InExpr) -> (SimplEnv, (InBndr, OutBndr, InExpr))
        -- Add the (substituted) rules to the binder
    add_rules env (bndr, rhs) = (env', (bndr, bndr', rhs))
        where
          (env', bndr') = addBndrRules env bndr (lookupRecBndr env bndr)

    go env [] = return env

    go env ((old_bndr, new_bndr, rhs) : pairs)
        = do { env' <- simplRecOrTopPair env top_lvl Recursive old_bndr new_bndr rhs
             ; go env' pairs }
\end{code}

simplOrTopPair is used for
        * recursive bindings (whether top level or not)
        * top-level non-recursive bindings

It assumes the binder has already been simplified, but not its IdInfo.

\begin{code}
simplRecOrTopPair :: SimplEnv
                  -> TopLevelFlag -> RecFlag
                  -> InId -> OutBndr -> InExpr  -- Binder and rhs
                  -> SimplM SimplEnv    -- Returns an env that includes the binding

simplRecOrTopPair env top_lvl is_rec old_bndr new_bndr rhs
  | preInlineUnconditionally env top_lvl old_bndr rhs   -- Check for unconditional inline
  = do  { tick (PreInlineUnconditionally old_bndr)
        ; return (extendIdSubst env old_bndr (mkContEx env rhs)) }

  | otherwise
  = simplLazyBind env top_lvl is_rec old_bndr new_bndr rhs env
\end{code}


simplLazyBind is used for
  * [simplRecOrTopPair] recursive bindings (whether top level or not)
  * [simplRecOrTopPair] top-level non-recursive bindings
  * [simplNonRecE]      non-top-level *lazy* non-recursive bindings

Nota bene:
    1. It assumes that the binder is *already* simplified,
       and is in scope, and its IdInfo too, except unfolding

    2. It assumes that the binder type is lifted.

    3. It does not check for pre-inline-unconditionallly;
       that should have been done already.

\begin{code}

        ; completeBind env' top_lvl bndr bndr1 rhs' }
\end{code}

A specialised variant of simplNonRec used when the RHS is already simplified,
notably in knownCon.  It uses case-binding where necessary.

\begin{code}
simplNonRecX :: SimplEnv
             -> InId            -- Old binder
             -> OutExpr         -- Simplified RHS
             -> SimplM SimplEnv

simplNonRecX env bndr new_rhs
  | isDeadBinder bndr   -- Not uncommon; e.g. case (a,b) of c { (p,q) -> p }
  = return env          --               Here c is dead, and we avoid creating
                        --               the binding c = (a,b)
  | Coercion co <- new_rhs    
  = return (extendCvSubst env bndr co)
  | otherwise           --               the binding b = (a,b)
  = do  { (env', bndr') <- simplBinder env bndr
        ; completeNonRecX NotTopLevel env' (isStrictId bndr) bndr bndr' new_rhs }
                -- simplNonRecX is only used for NotTopLevel things

completeNonRecX :: TopLevelFlag -> SimplEnv
                -> Bool
                -> InId                 -- Old binder
                -> OutId                -- New binder
                -> OutExpr              -- Simplified RHS
                -> SimplM SimplEnv

completeNonRecX top_lvl env is_strict old_bndr new_bndr new_rhs
  = do  { (env1, rhs1) <- prepareRhs top_lvl (zapFloats env) new_bndr new_rhs
        ; (env2, rhs2) <- 
                if doFloatFromRhs NotTopLevel NonRecursive is_strict rhs1 env1
                then do { tick LetFloatFromLet
                        ; return (addFloats env env1, rhs1) }   -- Add the floats to the main env
                else return (env, wrapFloats env1 rhs1)         -- Wrap the floats around the RHS
        ; completeBind env2 NotTopLevel old_bndr new_bndr rhs2 }
\end{code}

{- No, no, no!  Do not try preInlineUnconditionally in completeNonRecX
   Doing so risks exponential behaviour, because new_rhs has been simplified once already
   In the cases described by the folowing commment, postInlineUnconditionally will
   catch many of the relevant cases.
        -- This happens; for example, the case_bndr during case of
        -- known constructor:  case (a,b) of x { (p,q) -> ... }
        -- Here x isn't mentioned in the RHS, so we don't want to
        -- create the (dead) let-binding  let x = (a,b) in ...
        --
        -- Similarly, single occurrences can be inlined vigourously
        -- e.g.  case (f x, g y) of (a,b) -> ....
        -- If a,b occur once we can avoid constructing the let binding for them.

   Furthermore in the case-binding case preInlineUnconditionally risks extra thunks
        -- Consider     case I# (quotInt# x y) of
        --                I# v -> let w = J# v in ...
        -- If we gaily inline (quotInt# x y) for v, we end up building an
        -- extra thunk:
        --                let w = J# (quotInt# x y) in ...
        -- because quotInt# can fail.

  | preInlineUnconditionally env NotTopLevel bndr new_rhs
  = thing_inside (extendIdSubst env bndr (DoneEx new_rhs))
-}

----------------------------------
prepareRhs takes a putative RHS, checks whether it's a PAP or
constructor application and, if so, converts it to ANF, so that the
resulting thing can be inlined more easily.  Thus
        x = (f a, g b)
becomes
        t1 = f a
        t2 = g b
        x = (t1,t2)

We also want to deal well cases like this
        v = (f e1 `cast` co) e2
Here we want to make e1,e2 trivial and get
        x1 = e1; x2 = e2; v = (f x1 `cast` co) v2
That's what the 'go' loop in prepareRhs does

\begin{code}

Note [Float coercions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we find the binding
        x = e `cast` co
we'd like to transform it to
        x' = e
        x = x `cast` co         -- A trivial binding
There's a chance that e will be a constructor application or function, or something
like that, so moving the coerion to the usage site may well cancel the coersions
and lead to further optimisation.  Example:

     data family T a :: *
     data instance T Int = T Int

     foo :: Int -> Int -> Int
     foo m n = ...
        where
          x = T m
          go 0 = 0
          go n = case x of { T m -> go (n-m) }
                -- This case should optimise

Note [Preserve strictness when floating coercions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Note [Float coercions] transformation, keep the strictness info.
Eg
        f = e `cast` co    -- f has strictness SSL
When we transform to
        f' = e             -- f' also has strictness SSL
        f = f' `cast` co   -- f still has strictness SSL

Its not wrong to drop it on the floor, but better to keep it.

Note [Float coercions (unlifted)]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BUT don't do [Float coercions] if 'e' has an unlifted type.
This *can* happen:

     foo :: Int = (error (# Int,Int #) "urk")
                  `cast` CoUnsafe (# Int,Int #) Int

If do the makeTrivial thing to the error call, we'll get
    foo = case error (# Int,Int #) "urk" of v -> v `cast` ...
But 'v' isn't in scope!

These strange casts can happen as a result of case-of-case
        bar = case (case x of { T -> (# 2,3 #); F -> error "urk" }) of
                (# p,q #) -> p+q

        -- and now a's RHS is trivial and can be substituted out, and that

\end{code}

Note [Cannot trivialise]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider tih
   f :: Int -> Addr#
   
   foo :: Bar
   foo = Bar (f 3)

Then we can't ANF-ise foo, even though we'd like to, because
we can't make a top-level binding for the Addr# (f 3). And if
so we don't want to turn it into
   foo = let x = f 3 in Bar x
because we'll just end up inlining x back, and that makes the
simplifier loop.  Better not to ANF-ise it at all.

A case in point is literal strings (a MachStr is not regarded as
trivial):

   foo = Ptr "blob"#

We don't want to ANF-ise this.

completeBind
  * deals only with Ids, not TyVars
  * takes an already-simplified binder and RHS
  * is used for both recursive and non-recursive bindings
  * is used for both top-level and non-top-level bindings

It does the following:
  - tries discarding a dead binding
  - tries PostInlineUnconditionally
  - add unfolding [this is the only place we add an unfolding]
  - add arity

It does *not* attempt to do let-to-case.  Why?  Because it is used for
  - top-level bindings (when let-to-case is impossible)
  - many situations where the "rhs" is known to be a WHNF
                (so let-to-case is inappropriate).

Nor does it do the atomic-argument thing

          --             we don't.)  The simple thing is always to have one.
\end{code}

Note [Force bottoming field]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We need to force bottoming, or the new unfolding holds
on to the old unfolding (which is part of the id).

Note [Arity decrease]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Generally speaking the arity of a binding should not decrease.  But it *can* 
legitimately happen becuase of RULES.  Eg
        f = g Int
where g has arity 2, will have arity 2.  But if there's a rewrite rule
        g Int --> h
where h has arity 1, then f's arity will decrease.  Here's a real-life example,
which is in the output of Specialise:

     Rec {
        $dm {Arity 2} = \d.\x. op d
        {-# RULES forall d. $dm Int d = $s$dm #-}
        
        dInt = MkD .... opInt ...
        opInt {Arity 1} = $dm dInt

        $s$dm {Arity 0} = \x. op dInt }

Here opInt has arity 1; but when we apply the rule its arity drops to 0.
That's why Specialise goes to a little trouble to pin the right arity
on specialised functions too.

Note [Setting the new unfolding]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* If there's an INLINE pragma, we simplify the RHS gently.  Maybe we
  should do nothing at all, but simplifying gently might get rid of 
  more crap.

* If not, we make an unfolding from the new RHS.  But *only* for
  non-loop-breakers. Making loop breakers not have an unfolding at all
  means that we can avoid tests in exprIsConApp, for example.  This is
  important: if exprIsConApp says 'yes' for a recursive thing, then we
  can get into an infinite loop

If there's an InlineRule on a loop breaker, we hang on to the inlining.
It's pretty dodgy, but the user did say 'INLINE'.  May need to revisit
this choice.

Note [Setting the demand info]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the unfolding is a value, the demand info may
go pear-shaped, so we nuke it.  Example:
     let x = (a,b) in
     case x of (p,q) -> h p q x
Here x is certainly demanded. But after we've nuked
the case, we'll get just
     let x = (a,b) in h a b x
and now x is not demanded (I'm assuming h is lazy)
This really happens.  Similarly
     let f = \x -> e in ...f..f...
After inlining f at some of its call sites the original binding may
(for example) be no longer strictly demanded.
The solution here is a bit ad hoc...

%*                                                                      *
%************************************************************************

The reason for this OutExprStuff stuff is that we want to float *after*
simplifying a RHS, not before.  If we do so naively we get quadratic
behaviour as things float out.

To see why it's important to do it after, consider this (real) example:

        let t = f x
        in fst t
==>
        let t = let a = e1
                    b = e2
                in (a,b)
        in fst t
==>
        let a = e1
            b = e2
            t = (a,b)
        in
        a       -- Can't inline a this round, cos it appears twice
==>
        e1

Each of the ==> steps is a round of simplification.  We'd save a
whole round if we float first.  This can cascade.  Consider

        let f = g d
        in \x -> ...f...
==>
        let f = let d1 = ..d.. in \y -> e
        in \x -> ...f...
==>
        let d1 = ..d..
        in \x -> ...(\y ->e)...

Only in this second round can the \y be applied, and it
might do the same again.

Note [Zap unfolding when beta-reducing]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lambda-bound variables can have stable unfoldings, such as
   $j = \x. \b{Unf=Just x}. e
See Note [Case binders and join points] below; the unfolding for lets
us optimise e better.  However when we beta-reduce it we want to
revert to using the actual value, otherwise we can end up in the
stupid situation of
          let x = blah in
          let b{Unf=Just x} = y
          in ...b...
Here it'd be far better to drop the unfolding and use the actual RHS.

Note [RULES apply to simplified arguments]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's very desirable to try RULES once the arguments have been simplified, because
doing so ensures that rule cascades work in one pass.  Consider
   {-# RULES g (h x) = k x
             f (k x) = x #-}
   ...f (g (h x))...
Then we want to rewrite (g (h x)) to (k x) and only then try f's rules. If
we match f's rules against the un-simplified RHS, it won't match.  This 
makes a particularly big difference when superclass selectors are involved:
        op ($p1 ($p2 (df d)))
We want all this to unravel in one sweeep.

Note [Avoid redundant simplification]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because RULES apply to simplified arguments, there's a danger of repeatedly
simplifying already-simplified arguments.  An important example is that of
            (>>=) d e1 e2
Here e1, e2 are simplified before the rule is applied, but don't really
participate in the rule firing. So we mark them as Simplified to avoid
re-simplifying them.

Note [Shadowing]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This part of the simplifier may break the no-shadowing invariant
Consider
        f (...(\a -> e)...) (case y of (a,b) -> e')
where f is strict in its second arg
If we simplify the innermost one first we get (...(\a -> e)...)
Simplifying the second arg makes us float the case out, so we end up with
        case y of (a,b) -> f (...(\a -> e)...) e'
So the output does not have the no-shadowing invariant.  However, there is
no danger of getting name-capture, because when the first arg was simplified
we used an in-scope set that at least mentioned all the variables free in its
static environment, and that is enough.

We can't just do innermost first, or we'd end up with a dual problem:
        case x of (a,b) -> f e (...(\a -> e')...)

I spent hours trying to recover the no-shadowing invariant, but I just could
not think of an elegant way to do it.  The simplifier is already knee-deep in
continuations.  We have to keep the right in-scope set around; AND we have
to get the effect that finding (error "foo") in a strict arg position will
discard the entire application and replace it with (error "foo").  Getting
all this at once is TOO HARD!

Note [Rules for recursive functions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You might think that we shouldn't apply rules for a loop breaker:
doing so might give rise to an infinite loop, because a RULE is
rather like an extra equation for the function:
     RULE:           f (g x) y = x+y
     Eqn:            f a     y = a-y

But it's too drastic to disable rules for loop breakers.
Even the foldr/build rule would be disabled, because foldr
is recursive, and hence a loop breaker:
     foldr k z (build g) = g k z
So it's up to the programmer: rules can cause divergence

Note [Case elimination]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The case-elimination transformation discards redundant case expressions.
Start with a simple situation:

        case x# of      ===>   let y# = x# in e
          y# -> e

(when x#, y# are of primitive type, of course).  We can't (in general)
do this for algebraic cases, because we might turn bottom into
non-bottom!

The code in SimplUtils.prepareAlts has the effect of generalise this
idea to look for a case where we're scrutinising a variable, and we
know that only the default case can match.  For example:

        case x of
          0#      -> ...
          DEFAULT -> ...(case x of
                         0#      -> ...
                         DEFAULT -> ...) ...

Here the inner case is first trimmed to have only one alternative, the
DEFAULT, after which it's an instance of the previous case.  This
really only shows up in eliminating error-checking code.

Note that SimplUtils.mkCase combines identical RHSs.  So

        case e of       ===> case e of DEFAULT -> r
           True  -> r
           False -> r

Now again the case may be elminated by the CaseElim transformation.
This includes things like (==# a# b#)::Bool so that we simplify
      case ==# a# b# of { True -> x; False -> x }
to just
      x
This particular example shows up in default methods for
comparision operations (e.g. in (>=) for Int.Int32)

Note [CaseElimination: lifted case]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We also make sure that we deal with this very common case,
where x has a lifted type:

        case e of
          x -> ...x...

Here we are using the case as a strict let; if x is used only once
then we want to inline it.  We have to be careful that this doesn't
make the program terminate when it would have diverged before, so we
check that
        (a) 'e' is already evaluated (it may so if e is a variable)
            Specifically we check (exprIsHNF e)
or
        (b) the scrutinee is a variable and 'x' is used strictly
or
        (c) 'x' is not used at all and e is ok-for-speculation

For the (c), consider
   case (case a ># b of { True -> (p,q); False -> (q,p) }) of
     r -> blah
The scrutinee is ok-for-speculation (it looks inside cases), but we do
not want to transform to
   let r = case a ># b of { True -> (p,q); False -> (q,p) }
   in blah
because that builds an unnecessary thunk.


Further notes about case elimination
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider:       test :: Integer -> IO ()
                test = print

Turns out that this compiles to:
    Print.test
      = \ eta :: Integer
          eta1 :: State# RealWorld ->
          case PrelNum.< eta PrelNum.zeroInteger of wild { __DEFAULT ->
          case hPutStr stdout
                 (PrelNum.jtos eta ($w[] @ Char))
                 eta1
          of wild1 { (# new_s, a4 #) -> PrelIO.lvl23 new_s  }}

Notice the strange '<' which has no effect at all. This is a funny one.
It started like this:

f x y = if x < 0 then jtos x
          else if y==0 then "" else jtos x

At a particular call site we have (f v 1).  So we inline to get

        if v < 0 then jtos x
        else if 1==0 then "" else jtos x

Now simplify the 1==0 conditional:

        if v<0 then jtos v else jtos v

Now common-up the two branches of the case:

        case (v<0) of DEFAULT -> jtos v

Why don't we drop the case?  Because it's strict in v.  It's technically
wrong to drop even unnecessary evaluations, and in practice they
may be a result of 'seq' so we *definitely* don't want to drop those.
I don't really know how to improve this situation.

        -- The case binder *not* scope over the whole returned case-expression
        ; rebuild env' case_expr nodup_cont } }
\end{code}

simplCaseBinder checks whether the scrutinee is a variable, v.  If so,
try to eliminate uses of v in the RHSs in favour of case_bndr; that
way, there's a chance that v will now only be used once, and hence
inlined.

Historical note: we use to do the "case binder swap" in the Simplifier
so there were additional complications if the scrutinee was a variable.
Now the binder-swap stuff is done in the occurrence analyer; see
OccurAnal Note [Binder swap].

Note [zapOccInfo]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the case binder is not dead, then neither are the pattern bound
variables:  
        case <any> of x { (a,b) ->
        case x of { (p,q) -> p } }
Here (a,b) both look dead, but come alive after the inner case is eliminated.
The point is that we bring into the envt a binding
        let x = (a,b)
after the outer case, and that makes (a,b) alive.  At least we do unless
the case binder is guaranteed dead.

In practice, the scrutinee is almost always a variable, so we pretty
much always zap the OccInfo of the binders.  It doesn't matter much though.

Note [Improving seq]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
        type family F :: * -> *
        type instance F Int = Int

        ... case e of x { DEFAULT -> rhs } ...

where x::F Int.  Then we'd like to rewrite (F Int) to Int, getting

        case e `cast` co of x'::Int
           I# x# -> let x = x' `cast` sym co
                    in rhs

so that 'rhs' can take advantage of the form of x'.  

Notice that Note [Case of cast] (in OccurAnal) may then apply to the result. 

Nota Bene: We only do the [Improving seq] transformation if the 
case binder 'x' is actually used in the rhs; that is, if the case 
is *not* a *pure* seq.  
  a) There is no point in adding the cast to a pure seq.
  b) There is a good reason not to: doing so would interfere 
     with seq rules (Note [Built-in RULES for seq] in MkId).
     In particular, this [Improving seq] thing *adds* a cast
     while [Built-in RULES for seq] *removes* one, so they
     just flip-flop.

You might worry about 
   case v of x { __DEFAULT ->
      ... case (v `cast` co) of y { I# -> ... }}
This is a pure seq (since x is unused), so [Improving seq] won't happen.
But it's ok: the simplifier will replace 'v' by 'x' in the rhs to get
   case v of x { __DEFAULT ->
      ... case (x `cast` co) of y { I# -> ... }}
Now the outer case is not a pure seq, so [Improving seq] will happen,
and then the inner case will disappear.

The need for [Improving seq] showed up in Roman's experiments.  Example:
  foo :: F Int -> Int -> Int
  foo t n = t `seq` bar n
     where
       bar 0 = 0
       bar n = bar (n - case t of TI i -> i)
Here we'd like to avoid repeated evaluating t inside the loop, by
taking advantage of the `seq`.

At one point I did transformation in LiberateCase, but it's more
robust here.  (Otherwise, there's a danger that we'll simply drop the
'seq' altogether, before LiberateCase gets to see it.)

Note [Add unfolding for scrutinee]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In general it's unlikely that a variable scrutinee will appear 
in the case alternatives   case x of { ...x unlikely to appear... }
because the binder-swap in OccAnal has got rid of all such occcurrences
See Note [Binder swap] in OccAnal.

BUT it is still VERY IMPORTANT to add a suitable unfolding for a
variable scrutinee, in simplAlt.  Here's why
   case x of y
     (a,b) -> case b of c
                I# v -> ...(f y)...
There is no occurrence of 'b' in the (...(f y)...).  But y gets
the unfolding (a,b), and *that* mentions b.  If f has a RULE
    RULE f (p, I# q) = ...
we want that rule to match, so we must extend the in-scope env with a
suitable unfolding for 'y'.  It's *essential* for rule matching; but
it's also good for case-elimintation -- suppose that 'f' was inlined
and did multi-level case analysis, then we'd solve it in one
simplifier sweep instead of two.

Exactly the same issue arises in SpecConstr; 
see Note [Add scrutinee to ValueEnv too] in SpecConstr

We are a bit careful with occurrence info.  Here's an example

        (\x* -> case x of (a*, b) -> f a) (h v, e)

where the * means "occurs once".  This effectively becomes
        case (h v, e) of (a*, b) -> f a)
and then
        let a* = h v; b = e in f a
and then
        f (h v)

All this should happen in one sweep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we have

       of alts
then we can just duplicate those alts because the A and C cases
will disappear immediately.  This is more direct than creating
join points and inlining them away; and in some cases we would
not even create the join points (see Note [Single-alternative case])
and we would keep the case-of-case which is silly.  See Trac #4930.

Note [Fusing case continuations]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's important to fuse two successive case continuations when the
first has one alternative.  That's why we call prepareCaseCont here.
Consider this, which arises from thunk splitting (see Note [Thunk
splitting] in WorkWrap):

      let
        x* = case (case v of {pn -> rn}) of 
               I# a -> I# a
      in body

The simplifier will find
    (Var v) with continuation  
            Select (pn -> rn) (
            Select [I# a -> I# a] (
            StrictBind body Stop

So we'll call mkDupableCont on 
   Select [I# a -> I# a] (StrictBind body Stop)
There is just one alternative in the first Select, so we want to
simplify the rhs (I# a) with continuation (StricgtBind body Stop)
Supposing that body is big, we end up with
          let $j a = <let x = I# a in body> 
          in case v of { pn -> case rn of 
                                 I# a -> $j a }
This is just what we want because the rn produces a box that
the case rn cancels with.  

See Trac #4957 a fuller example.

Note [Case binders and join points]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider this 
   case (case .. ) of c {
     I# c# -> ....c....

If we make a join point with c but not c# we get
  $j = \c -> ....c....

But if later inlining scrutines the c, thus

  $j = \c -> ... case c of { I# y -> ... } ...

we won't see that 'c' has already been scrutinised.  This actually
happens in the 'tabulate' function in wave4main, and makes a significant
difference to allocation.

An alternative plan is this:

   $j = \c# -> let c = I# c# in ...c....

but that is bad if 'c' is *not* later scrutinised.  

So instead we do both: we pass 'c' and 'c#' , and record in c's inlining
(an InlineRule) that it's really I# c#, thus
   
   $j = \c# -> \c[=I# c#] -> ...c....

Absence analysis may later discard 'c'.

NB: take great care when doing strictness analysis; 
    see Note [Lamba-bound unfoldings] in DmdAnal.

Also note that we can still end up passing stuff that isn't used.  Before
strictness analysis we have
   let $j x y c{=(x,y)} = (h c, ...)
   in ...
After strictness analysis we see that h is strict, we end up with
   let $j x y c{=(x,y)} = ($wh x y, ...)
and c is unused.
   
Note [Duplicated env]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of the alternatives are simplified, but have not been turned into a join point
So they *must* have an zapped subst-env.  So we can't use completeNonRecX to
bind the join point, because it might to do PostInlineUnconditionally, and
we'd lose that when zapping the subst-env.  We could have a per-alt subst-env,
but zapping it (as we do in mkDupableCont, the Select case) is safe, and
at worst delays the join-point inlining.

Note [Small alternative rhs]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is worth checking for a small RHS because otherwise we
get extra let bindings that may cause an extra iteration of the simplifier to
inline back in place.  Quite often the rhs is just a variable or constructor.
The Ord instance of Maybe in PrelMaybe.lhs, for example, took several extra
iterations because the version with the let bindings looked big, and so wasn't
inlined, but after the join points had been inlined it looked smaller, and so
was inlined.

NB: we have to check the size of rhs', not rhs.
Duplicating a small InAlt might invalidate occurrence information
However, if it *is* dupable, we return the *un* simplified alternative,
because otherwise we'd need to pair it up with an empty subst-env....
but we only have one env shared between all the alts.
(Remember we must zap the subst-env before re-simplifying something).
Rather than do this we simply agree to re-simplify the original (small) thing later.

Note [Funky mkPiTypes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notice the funky mkPiTypes.  If the contructor has existentials
it's possible that the join point will be abstracted over
type varaibles as well as term variables.
 Example:  Suppose we have
        data T = forall t.  C [t]
 Then faced with
        case (case e of ...) of
            C t xs::[t] -> rhs
 We get the join point
        let j :: forall t. [t] -> ...
            j = /\t \xs::[t] -> rhs
        in
        case (case e of ...) of
            C t xs::[t] -> j t xs

Note [Join point abstaction]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we try to lift a primitive-typed something out
for let-binding-purposes, we will *caseify* it (!),
with potentially-disastrous strictness results.  So
instead we turn it into a function: \v -> e
where v::State# RealWorld#.  The value passed to this function
is realworld#, which generates (almost) no code.

There's a slight infelicity here: we pass the overall
case_bndr to all the join points if it's used in *any* RHS,
because we don't know its usage in each RHS separately

We used to say "&& isUnLiftedType rhs_ty'" here, but now
we make the join point into a function whenever used_bndrs'
is empty.  This makes the join-point more CPR friendly.
Consider:       let j = if .. then I# 3 else I# 4
                in case .. of { A -> j; B -> j; C -> ... }

Now CPR doesn't w/w j because it's a thunk, so
that means that the enclosing function can't w/w either,
which is a lose.  Here's the example that happened in practice:
        kgmod :: Int -> Int -> Int
        kgmod x y = if x > 0 && y < 0 || x < 0 && y > 0
                    then 78
                    else 5

I have seen a case alternative like this:
        True -> \v -> ...
It's a bit silly to add the realWorld dummy arg in this case, making
        $j = \s v -> ...
           True -> $j s
(the \v alone is enough to make CPR happy) but I think it's rare

Note [Duplicating StrictArg]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The original plan had (where E is a big argument)
e.g.    f E [..hole..]
        ==>     let $j = \a -> f E a
                in $j [..hole..]

But this is terrible! Here's an example:
        && E (case x of { T -> F; F -> T })
Now, && is strict so we end up simplifying the case with
an ArgOf continuation.  If we let-bind it, we get
        let $j = \v -> && E v
        in simplExpr (case x of { T -> F; F -> T })
                     (ArgOf (\r -> $j r)
And after simplifying more we get
        let $j = \v -> && E v
        in case x of { T -> $j F; F -> $j T }
Which is a Very Bad Thing

What we do now is this
        f E [..hole..]
        ==>     let a = E
                in f a [..hole..]
Now if the thing in the hole is a case expression (which is when
we'll call mkDupableCont), we'll push the function call into the
branches, which is what we want.  Now RULES for f may fire, and
call-pattern specialisation.  Here's an example from Trac #3116
     go (n+1) (case l of
                 1  -> bs'
                 _  -> Chunk p fpc (o+1) (l-1) bs')
If we can push the call for 'go' inside the case, we get
call-pattern specialisation for 'go', which is *crucial* for 
this program.

Here is the (&&) example: 
        && E (case x of { T -> F; F -> T })
  ==>   let a = E in 
        case x of { T -> && a F; F -> && a T }
Much better!

Notice that 
  * Arguments to f *after* the strict one are handled by 
    the ApplyTo case of mkDupableCont.  Eg
        f [..hole..] E

  * We can only do the let-binding of E because the function
    part of a StrictArg continuation is an explicit syntax
    tree.  In earlier versions we represented it as a function
    (CoreExpr -> CoreEpxr) which we couldn't take apart.

Do *not* duplicate StrictBind and StritArg continuations.  We gain
nothing by propagating them into the expressions, and we do lose a
lot.  

The desire not to duplicate is the entire reason that
mkDupableCont returns a pair of continuations.

Note [Duplicating StrictBind]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unlike StrictArg, there doesn't seem anything to gain from
duplicating a StrictBind continuation, so we don't.


Note [Single-alternative cases]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This case is just like the ArgOf case.  Here's an example:
        data T a = MkT !a
        ...(MkT (abs x))...
Then we get
        case (case x of I# x' ->
              case x' <# 0# of
                True  -> I# (negate# x')
                False -> I# x') of y {
          DEFAULT -> MkT y
Because the (case x) has only one alternative, we'll transform to
        case x of I# x' ->
        case (case x' <# 0# of
                True  -> I# (negate# x')
                False -> I# x') of y {
          DEFAULT -> MkT y
But now we do *NOT* want to make a join point etc, giving
        case x of I# x' ->
        let $j = \y -> MkT y
        in case x' <# 0# of
                True  -> $j (I# (negate# x'))
                False -> $j (I# x')
In this case the $j will inline again, but suppose there was a big
strict computation enclosing the orginal call to MkT.  Then, it won't
"see" the MkT any more, because it's big and won't get duplicated.
And, what is worse, nothing was gained by the case-of-case transform.

So, in circumstances like these, we don't want to build join points
and push the outer case into the branches of the inner one. Instead,
don't duplicate the continuation. 

When should we use this strategy?  We should not use it on *every*
single-alternative case:
  e.g.  case (case ....) of (a,b) -> (# a,b #)
Here we must push the outer case into the inner one!
Other choices:

   * Match [(DEFAULT,_,_)], but in the common case of Int,
     the alternative-filling-in code turned the outer case into
                case (...) of y { I# _ -> MkT y }

   * Match on single alternative plus (not (isDeadBinder case_bndr))
     Rationale: pushing the case inwards won't eliminate the construction.
     But there's a risk of
                case (...) of y { (a,b) -> let z=(a,b) in ... }
     Now y looks dead, but it'll come alive again.  Still, this
     seems like the best option at the moment.

   * Match on single alternative plus (all (isDeadBinder bndrs))
     Rationale: this is essentially  seq.

   * Match when the rhs is *not* duplicable, and hence would lead to a
     join point.  This catches the disaster-case above.  We can test
     the *un-simplified* rhs, which is fine.  It might get bigger or
     smaller after simplification; if it gets smaller, this case might
     fire next time round.  NB also that we must test contIsDupable
     case_cont *too, because case_cont might be big!

     HOWEVER: I found that this version doesn't work well, because
     we can get         let x = case (...) of { small } in ...case x...
     When x is inlined into its full context, we find that it was a bad
     idea to have pushed the outer case inside the (...) case.

Note [Single-alternative-unlifted]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's another single-alternative where we really want to do case-of-case:

data Mk1 = Mk1 Int# | Mk2 Int#

M1.f =
    \r [x_s74 y_s6X]
        case
            case y_s6X of tpl_s7m {
              M1.Mk1 ipv_s70 -> ipv_s70;
              M1.Mk2 ipv_s72 -> ipv_s72;
            }
        of
        wild_s7c
        { __DEFAULT ->
              case
                  case x_s74 of tpl_s7n {
                    M1.Mk1 ipv_s77 -> ipv_s77;
                    M1.Mk2 ipv_s79 -> ipv_s79;
                  }
              of
              wild1_s7b
              { __DEFAULT -> ==# [wild1_s7b wild_s7c];
              };
        };

So the outer case is doing *nothing at all*, other than serving as a
join-point.  In this case we really want to do case-of-case and decide
whether to use a real join point or just duplicate the continuation:

    let $j s7c = case x of
                   Mk1 ipv77 -> (==) s7c ipv77
                   Mk1 ipv79 -> (==) s7c ipv79
    in
    case y of 
      Mk1 ipv70 -> $j ipv70
      Mk2 ipv72 -> $j ipv72

Hence: check whether the case binder's type is unlifted, because then
the outer case is *not* a seq.
