@@ -1050,22 +1050,6 @@ Here's a concrete example that does this (test tc200):
Current solution: only do the "method sharing" thing for the first type/dict
application, not for the iterated ones. A horribly subtle point.
-Note [No method sharing]
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The -fno-method-sharing flag controls what happens so far as the LIE
-is concerned. The default case is that for an overloaded function we
-generate a "method" Id, and add the Method Inst to the LIE. So you get
-something like
- f :: Num a => a -> a
- f = /\a (d:Num a) -> let m = (+) a d in \ (x:a) -> m x x
-If you specify -fno-method-sharing, the dictionary application
-isn't shared, so we get
- f :: Num a => a -> a
- f = /\a (d:Num a) (x:a) -> (+) a d x x
-This gets a bit less sharing, but
- a) it's better for RULEs involving overloaded functions
- b) perhaps fewer separated lambdas
