Subject: [Caml-list] OCaml not automatically specialising a polymorphic function
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2003 16:05:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030625150535.GA15972@redhat.com> (raw)
- max3.ml ------------------------------------------------------------
let max a b =
if a > b then a else b
in
print_int (max 2 3);;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the assembler, OCaml doesn't work out that "max" has type
max : int -> int -> int, and so it generates very inefficient
code. This is a bit surprising because (I think) max can't be called
from outside the module, and the one place where it is called
specifies the type.
So I'm guessing here that OCaml doesn't really optimize across
functions?
Rich.
