Hello,
Does inlining work with any function definitions (including those defined locally following a where.. say), or only with top level function definitions?
Well, as far as I can tell from my experiments, it does only work for for top level definitions (or to be more precise, it seems not to work with local definitions). I assume it does work with top level definitions, so to get (what would otherwise be) local definitions inlined I have to lambda lift them manually to the top level? The remark in the manual about inline pragmas occuring anywhere where a type signature could occur would seem to confirm this (for Haskell 98 at least). I'd be grateful if somebody who knows could confirm this (or not perhaps). I don't want to uglify my code if it's not necessary :-( Thanks -- Adrian Hey
