Module "CompactFlatCurry.curry"

This module contains functions to reduce the size of FlatCurry programs by combining the main module and all imports into a single program that contains only the functions directly or indirectly called from a set of main functions.

Datatypes:

Constructors:
Exports | Import | InitFuncs | Main | Required | Verbose

Functions:
alwaysRequired | computeCompactFlatCurry | defaultRequired | generateCompactFlatCurryFile | requires

requires  :: (String,String) -> (String,String) -> RequiredSpec              (fun `requires` reqfun) specifies that the use of the function "fun" implies the application of function "reqfun".

alwaysRequired  :: (String,String) -> RequiredSpec              (alwaysRequired fun) specifies that the function "fun" should be always present if the corresponding module is loaded.

defaultRequired  :: [RequiredSpec]              Functions that are implicitly required in a FlatCurry program (since they might be generated by external functions like "==" or "=:=" on the fly).

generateCompactFlatCurryFile  :: [Option] -> String -> String -> IO ()              Computes a single FlatCurry program containing all functions potentially called from a set of main functions and writes it into a FlatCurry file.

computeCompactFlatCurry  :: [Option] -> String -> IO Prog              Computes a single FlatCurry program containing all functions potentially called from a set of main functions.

Option

Options to guide the compactification process.

Constructors:

Verbose :: Option

Verbose - for more output

Main :: String -> Option

Main - optimize for one main (unqualified!) function supplied here

Exports :: Option

Exports - optimize w.r.t. the exported functions of the module only

InitFuncs :: [(String,String)] -> Option

InitFuncs - optimize w.r.t. given list of initially required functions

Required :: [RequiredSpec] -> Option

Required - list of functions that are implicitly required and, thus, should not be deleted if the corresponding module is imported

Import :: String -> Option

Import - module that should always be imported (useful in combination with option InitFuncs)

RequiredSpec

Data type to specify requirements of functions.

Exported functions:

---

requires :: (String,String) -> (String,String) -> RequiredSpec   

(fun `requires` reqfun) specifies that the use of the function "fun" implies the application of function "reqfun".

Further infos:

• defined as non-associative infix operator with precedence 0
• solution complete, i.e., able to compute all solutions

---

alwaysRequired :: (String,String) -> RequiredSpec   

(alwaysRequired fun) specifies that the function "fun" should be always present if the corresponding module is loaded.

Further infos:

• solution complete, i.e., able to compute all solutions

---

defaultRequired :: [RequiredSpec]   

Functions that are implicitly required in a FlatCurry program (since they might be generated by external functions like "==" or "=:=" on the fly).

Further infos:

• solution complete, i.e., able to compute all solutions

---

generateCompactFlatCurryFile :: [Option] -> String -> String -> IO ()   

Computes a single FlatCurry program containing all functions potentially called from a set of main functions and writes it into a FlatCurry file. This is done by merging all imported FlatCurry modules and removing the imported functions that are definitely not used.

Example call:  (generateCompactFlatCurryFile options progname target)

Parameters:

options - list of options

progname - name of the Curry program that should be compacted

target - name of the target file where the compact program is saved

---

computeCompactFlatCurry :: [Option] -> String -> IO Prog   

Computes a single FlatCurry program containing all functions potentially called from a set of main functions. This is done by merging all imported FlatCurry modules (these are loaded demand-driven so that modules that contains no potentially called functions are not loaded) and removing the imported functions that are definitely not used.

Example call:  (computeCompactFlatCurry options progname)

Parameters:

options - list of options

progname - name of the Curry program that should be compacted

Returns:

the compact FlatCurry program
