Re: [Haskell-cafe] does the compiler optimize repeated calls?

or does the compiler perform this optimization? More generally, if a function is invoked with the same parameters again (and it doesn't involve anything like monads), does does it makes sense (performancewise) to "store" the result somewhere?

I was wondering something like this too, and then I found this email: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-bugs/2004-December/004530.h... So I guess it is as Stephane said: theoretically possible but not actually done? --eric the perpetual newbie -- Eric Kow http://www.loria.fr/~kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 Merci de corriger mon français.
