Linearity
Instead of:
type DmdEnv = VarEnv Demand
we want:
type DmdEnv = Env CoreExpr Demand
We keep track of demands on partial applications.
After calling dmd_anal on the body of a let, which results in demand type dmd_ty with demand env dmd_env, we do the following for each let-bound variable f:
- Iterate through all the keys in dmd_env, finding all applications of f to n arguments.
- For each i from 1 through n (where n is f's arity), if each of the applications of f to i arguments has usage demand OneOrZero, then it's safe to mark the corresponding lambda-expression as a one-shot lambda.
This might work, but is kind of kludgy.
This may be way too unnecessarily complicated. Can't we just get the same information from the demand on f in the free-var environment of the let body as it is, without changing the environment?
suppose the demand on f is
S1K(S1K(LMX))
if f =
(\ x. (\ y. ...))
then we can mark the outer two lambdas as being one-shot. Right?
