Re: Common subexpressions are not optimized to single one?

3 Dec 2003

      My original mail might be misleading, but I didn't mean that I want to
rely on the optimization "to make the program work".

I just thought If I could expect such an optimization to be performed,
I would not need to rewrite everytime
...
func (g x) (g x) -- g x = unsafeperformIO $ do {...}
to
let h = g x in func h h
in order to make the program run faster.
But ,in the first place, is it meaningful to write "let h = g x in func h h"
in order to avoid re-evaluation of g x, on the assumption that h is CAF?

Thanks.
