{- Generating code for a let-no-escape binding, aka join point is very
very similar to what we do for a case expression.  The duality is
between
        let-no-escape x = b
        in e
and
        case e of ... -> b

That is, the RHS of 'x' (ie 'b') will execute *later*, just like
the alternative of the case; it needs to be compiled in an environment
in which all volatile bindings are forgotten, and the free vars are
bound only to stable things like stack locations..  The 'e' part will
execute *next*, just like the scrutinee of a case. -}

{- Note [Compiling case expressions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is quite interesting to decide whether to put a heap-check at the
start of each alternative.  Of course we certainly have to do so if
the case forces an evaluation, or if there is a primitive op which can
trigger GC.

A more interesting situation is this (a Plan-B situation)

        !P!;
        ...P...
        case x# of
          0#      -> !Q!; ...Q...
          default -> !R!; ...R...

where !x! indicates a possible heap-check point. The heap checks
in the alternatives *can* be omitted, in which case the topmost
heapcheck will take their worst case into account.

In favour of omitting !Q!, !R!:

 - *May* save a heap overflow test,
   if ...P... allocates anything.

 - We can use relative addressing from a single Hp to
   get at all the closures so allocated.

 - No need to save volatile vars etc across heap checks
   in !Q!, !R!

Against omitting !Q!, !R!

  - May put a heap-check into the inner loop.  Suppose
        the main loop is P -> R -> P -> R...
        Q is the loop exit, and only it does allocation.
    This only hurts us if P does no allocation.  If P allocates,
    then there is a heap check in the inner loop anyway.

  - May do more allocation than reqd.  This sometimes bites us
    badly.  For example, nfib (ha!) allocates about 30\% more space if the
    worst-casing is done, because many many calls to nfib are leaf calls
    which don't need to allocate anything.

    We can un-allocate, but that costs an instruction

Neither problem hurts us if there is only one alternative.

Suppose the inner loop is P->R->P->R etc.  Then here is
how many heap checks we get in the *inner loop* under various
conditions

  Alooc   Heap check in branches (!Q!, !R!)?
  P Q R      yes     no (absorb to !P!)
--------------------------------------
  n n n      0          0
  n y n      0          1
  n . y      1          1
  y . y      2          1
  y . n      1          1

Best choices: absorb heap checks from Q and R into !P! iff
  a) P itself does some allocation
or
  b) P does allocation, or there is exactly one alternative

We adopt (b) because that is more likely to put the heap check at the
entry to a function, when not many things are live.  After a bunch of
single-branch cases, we may have lots of things live

Hence: two basic plans for

        case e of r { alts }

------ Plan A: the general case ---------

        ...save current cost centre...

        ...code for e,
           with sequel (SetLocals r)

        ...restore current cost centre...
        ...code for alts...
        ...alts do their own heap checks

------ Plan B: special case when ---------
  (i)  e does not allocate or call GC
  (ii) either upstream code performs allocation
       or there is just one alternative

  Then heap allocation in the (single) case branch
  is absorbed by the upstream check.
  Very common example: primops on unboxed values

        ...code for e,
           with sequel (SetLocals r)...

        ...code for alts...
        ...no heap check...

Note [case on bool]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This special case handles code like

  case a <# b of
    True ->
    False ->

-->  case tagToEnum# (a <$# b) of
        True -> .. ; False -> ...

--> case (a <$# b) of r ->
    case tagToEnum# r of
        True -> .. ; False -> ...

If we let the ordinary case code handle it, we'll get something like

 tmp1 = a < b
 tmp2 = Bool_closure_tbl[tmp1]
 if (tmp2 & 7 != 0) then ... // normal tagged case

but this junk won't optimise away.  What we really want is just an
inline comparison:

 if (a < b) then ...

So we add a special case to generate

 tmp1 = a < b
 if (tmp1 == 0) then ...

and later optimisations will further improve this.

Now that #6135 has been resolved it should be possible to remove that
special case. The idea behind this special case and pre-6135 implementation
of Bool-returning primops was that tagToEnum# was added implicitly in the
codegen and then optimized away. Now the call to tagToEnum# is explicit
in the source code, which allows to optimize it away at the earlier stages
of compilation (i.e. at the Core level).

  -- Note [ticket #3132]: we might be looking at a case of a lifted Id

{-
Note [scrut sequel]

The job of the scrutinee is to assign its value(s) to alt_regs.
Additionally, if we plan to do a heap-check in the alternatives (see
Note [Compiling case expressions]), then we *must* retreat Hp to
recover any unused heap before passing control to the sequel.  If we
don't do this, then any unused heap will become slop because the heap
check will reset the heap usage. Slop in the heap breaks LDV profiling
(+RTS -hb) which needs to do a linear sweep through the nursery.


Note [Inlining out-of-line primops and heap checks]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If shouldInlinePrimOp returns True when called from StgCmmExpr for the
purpose of heap check placement, we *must* inline the primop later in
StgCmmPrim. If we don't things will go wrong.

-- Note [Self-recursive tail calls]
-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--
-- Self-recursive tail calls can be optimized into a local jump in the same
-- way as let-no-escape bindings (see Note [What is a non-escaping let] in
-- stgSyn/CoreToStg.lhs). Consider this:
--
-- foo.info:
--     a = R1  // calling convention
--     b = R2
--     goto L1
-- L1: ...
--     ...
-- ...
-- L2: R1 = x
--     R2 = y
--     call foo(R1,R2)
--
-- Instead of putting x and y into registers (or other locations required by the
-- calling convention) and performing a call we can put them into local
-- variables a and b and perform jump to L1:
--
-- foo.info:
--     a = R1
--     b = R2
--     goto L1
-- L1: ...
--     ...
-- ...
-- L2: a = x
--     b = y
--     goto L1
--
-- This can be done only when function is calling itself in a tail position
-- and only if the call passes number of parameters equal to function's arity.
-- Note that this cannot be performed if a function calls itself with a
-- continuation.
--
-- This in fact implements optimization known as "loopification". It was
-- described in "Low-level code optimizations in the Glasgow Haskell Compiler"
-- by Krzysztof Woś, though we use different approach. Krzysztof performed his
-- optimization at the Cmm level, whereas we perform ours during code generation
-- (Stg-to-Cmm pass) essentially making sure that optimized Cmm code is
-- generated in the first place.
--
-- Implementation is spread across a couple of places in the code:
--
--   * FCode monad stores additional information in its reader environment
--     (cgd_self_loop field). This information tells us which function can
--     tail call itself in an optimized way (it is the function currently
--     being compiled), what is the label of a loop header (L1 in example above)
--     and information about local registers in which we should arguments
--     before making a call (this would be a and b in example above).
--
--   * Whenever we are compiling a function, we set that information to reflect
--     the fact that function currently being compiled can be jumped to, instead
--     of called. This is done in closureCodyBody in StgCmmBind.
--
--   * We also have to emit a label to which we will be jumping. We make sure
--     that the label is placed after a stack check but before the heap
--     check. The reason is that making a recursive tail-call does not increase
--     the stack so we only need to check once. But it may grow the heap, so we
--     have to repeat the heap check in every self-call. This is done in
--     do_checks in StgCmmHeap.
--
--   * When we begin compilation of another closure we remove the additional
--     information from the environment. This is done by forkClosureBody
--     in StgCmmMonad. Other functions that duplicate the environment -
--     forkLneBody, forkAlts, codeOnly - duplicate that information. In other
--     words, we only need to clean the environment of the self-loop information
--     when compiling right hand side of a closure (binding).
--
--   * When compiling a call (cgIdApp) we use getCallMethod to decide what kind
--     of call will be generated. getCallMethod decides to generate a self
--     recursive tail call when (a) environment stores information about
--     possible self tail-call; (b) that tail call is to a function currently
--     being compiled; (c) number of passed arguments is equal to function's
--     arity. (d) loopification is turned on via -floopification command-line
--     option.
--
--   * Command line option to turn loopification on and off is implemented in
--     DynFlags.
