Implementing Projection-based Strictness Analysis

  • Conference paper
Functional Programming, Glasgow 1991

Part of the book series: Workshops in Computing ((WORKSHOPS COMP.))

Abstract

Projection-based backwards strictness analysis has been understood for some years. Surprisingly, even though the method is fairly simple and quite general, no reports of its implementation have appeared. This paper describes ideas underlying our prototype implementation of the analysis for a simple programming language. The implementation serves as a case study before applying the method in the Glasgow Haskell compiler.
