fusion

Jump to user comments

programming A program transformation where a composition

of two functions is replaced by in-lining them and combining

their bodies. E.g.

f x = g (h x) ==@# f x = g (2 * x)

g x = x + 1 f x = 2 * x + 1

h x = 2 * x

This has the beneficial effect of reducing the number of

function calls. It can be especially useful where the

intermediate result is a large data structure which can be

eliminated.

See also vertical loop combination.
