Subject: [Caml-list] inlining/eta-expansion question
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:53:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F468B23.6020006@mcmaster.ca> (raw)
What difference is there, if any, between
let plus = (+)
and
let plus = fun a b -> a + b
?
I know that, operationally, these are identical. What I am wondering
is, do applications of 'plus' always compile down to the exact same thing?
In code that I am writing, due to interactions with the value
restriction, I have to eta-expand all my definitions. So I am wondering
what cost I will have to pay for the 'genericity' of my code.
Jacques
