Least upper bound, greatest lower bound.

\begin{code}
lub, glb :: AbsVal -> AbsVal -> AbsVal

lub AbsBot val2   = val2	
lub val1   AbsBot = val1	

lub (AbsProd xs) (AbsProd ys) = AbsProd (zipWithEqual "lub" lub xs ys)

lub _		  _	      = AbsTop	-- Crude, but conservative
					-- The crudity only shows up if there
					-- are functions involved

-- Slightly funny glb; for absence analysis only;
-- AbsBot is the safe answer.
--
-- Using anyBot rather than just testing for AbsBot is important.
-- Consider:
--
--   f = \a b -> ...
--
--   g = \x y z -> case x of
--	  	     []     -> f x
--		     (p:ps) -> f p
--
-- Now, the abstract value of the branches of the case will be an
-- AbsFun, but when testing for z's absence we want to spot that it's
-- an AbsFun which can't possibly return AbsBot.  So when glb'ing we
-- mustn't be too keen to bale out and return AbsBot; the anyBot test
-- spots that (f x) can't possibly return AbsBot.

-- We have also tripped over the following interesting case:
--	case x of
--	  []     -> \y -> 1
--        (p:ps) -> f
--
-- Now, suppose f is bound to AbsTop.  Does this expression mention z?
-- Obviously not.  But the case will take the glb of AbsTop (for f) and
-- an AbsFun (for \y->1). We should not bale out and give AbsBot, because
-- that would say that it *does* mention z (or anything else for that matter).
-- Nor can we always return AbsTop, because the AbsFun might be something
-- like (\y->z), which obviously does mention z. The point is that we're
-- glbing two functions, and AbsTop is not actually the top of the function
-- lattice.  It is more like (\xyz -> x|y|z); that is, AbsTop returns
-- poison iff any of its arguments do.

-- Deal with functions specially, because AbsTop isn't the
-- top of their domain.

glb v1 v2
  | is_fun v1 || is_fun v2
  = if not (anyBot v1) && not (anyBot v2)
    then
	AbsTop
    else
	AbsBot
  where
    is_fun (AbsFun _ _)       = True
    is_fun (AbsApproxFun _ _) = True	-- Not used, but the glb works ok
    is_fun other              = False

-- The non-functional cases are quite straightforward

glb (AbsProd xs) (AbsProd ys) = AbsProd (zipWithEqual "glb" glb xs ys)

glb AbsTop	 v2	      = v2
glb v1           AbsTop	      = v1

glb _            _            = AbsBot 		-- Be pessimistic
\end{code}

@isBot@ returns True if its argument is (a representation of) bottom.  The
``representation'' part is because we need to detect the bottom {\em function}
too.  To detect the bottom function, bind its args to top, and see if it
returns bottom.

Used only in strictness analysis:
\begin{code}
isBot :: AbsVal -> Bool

isBot AbsBot = True
isBot other  = False	-- Functions aren't bottom any more
\end{code}

Used only in absence analysis:

\begin{code}
anyBot :: AbsVal -> Bool

anyBot AbsBot 		       = True	-- poisoned!
anyBot AbsTop 		       = False
anyBot (AbsProd vals) 	       = any anyBot vals
anyBot (AbsFun bndr_ty abs_fn) = anyBot (abs_fn AbsTop)
anyBot (AbsApproxFun _ val)    = anyBot val
\end{code}

@widen@ takes an @AbsVal@, $val$, and returns and @AbsVal@ which is
approximated by $val$.  Furthermore, the result has no @AbsFun@s in
it, so it can be compared for equality by @sameVal@.

\begin{code}
widen :: AnalysisKind -> AbsVal -> AbsVal

-- Widening is complicated by the fact that funtions are lifted
widen StrAnal the_fn@(AbsFun bndr_ty _)
  = case widened_body of
	AbsApproxFun ds val -> AbsApproxFun (d : ds) val
			    where
			       d = findRecDemand str_fn abs_fn bndr_ty
			       str_fn val = isBot (foldl (absApply StrAnal) the_fn 
						         (val : [AbsTop | d <- ds]))

	other		    -> AbsApproxFun [d] widened_body
			    where
			       d = findRecDemand str_fn abs_fn bndr_ty

  where
    widened_body = widen StrAnal (absApply StrAnal the_fn AbsTop)
    abs_fn val   = False	-- Always says poison; so it looks as if
				-- nothing is absent; safe

{-	OLD comment... 
	This stuff is now instead handled neatly by the fact that AbsApproxFun 
	contains an AbsVal inside it.	SLPJ Jan 97

    -- It's worth checking for a function which is unconditionally
    -- bottom.  Consider

    --
    -- Here, when we are considering strictness of f in x, we'll

    -- Top, not Bot as the value of f's rhs.  The test spots the
    -- unconditional bottom-ness of g when x is bottom.  (Another
    -- alternative here would be to bind g to its exact abstract
    -- value, but that entails lots of potential re-computation, at

	-- It's desirable to do a good job of widening for product

	-- Now, is y absent in this expression?  Currently the
	-- analyser widens p before looking at p's scope, to avoid
	-- lots of recomputation in the case where p is a function.
	-- So if widening doesn't have a case for products, we'll
	-- widen p to AbsBot (since when searching for absence in y we
	-- bind y to poison ie AbsBot), and now we are lost.

\end{code}

@crudeAbsWiden@ is used just for absence analysis, and always
returns AbsTop or AbsBot, so it widens to a two-point domain

crudeAbsWiden :: AbsVal -> AbsVal
crudeAbsWiden val = if anyBot val then AbsBot else AbsTop
\end{code}

@sameVal@ compares two abstract values for equality.  It can't deal with
@AbsFun@, but that should have been removed earlier in the day by @widen@.

#ifdef DEBUG
sameVal (AbsFun _ _) _ = panic "sameVal: AbsFun: arg1"
sameVal _ (AbsFun _ _) = panic "sameVal: AbsFun: arg2"
#endif

sameVal AbsBot AbsBot = True
sameVal AbsBot other  = False	-- widen has reduced AbsFun bots to AbsBot

sameVal AbsTop AbsTop = True
sameVal AbsTop other  = False		-- Right?

sameVal (AbsProd vals1) (AbsProd vals2) = and (zipWithEqual "sameVal" sameVal vals1 vals2)
sameVal (AbsProd _)	AbsTop 		= False
sameVal (AbsProd _)	AbsBot 		= False

sameVal (AbsApproxFun _ _)     AbsTop		      = False
sameVal (AbsApproxFun _ _)     AbsBot 		      = False

sameVal val1 val2 = panic "sameVal: type mismatch or AbsFun encountered"
\end{code}


@evalStrictness@ compares a @Demand@ with an abstract value, returning
@True@ iff the abstract value is {\em less defined} than the demand.
(@True@ is the exciting answer; @False@ is always safe.)

\begin{code}
evalStrictness :: Demand
	       -> AbsVal
	       -> Bool		-- True iff the value is sure
				-- to be less defined than the Demand

evalStrictness (WwLazy _) _   = False
evalStrictness WwStrict   val = isBot val
evalStrictness WwEnum	  val = isBot val

evalStrictness (WwUnpack _ demand_info) val
  = case val of
      AbsTop	   -> False
      AbsBot	   -> True
      AbsProd vals
	   | not (equalLength vals demand_info) -> pprTrace "TELL SIMON: evalStrictness" (ppr demand_info $$ ppr val)
						  False
	   | otherwise -> or (zipWithEqual "evalStrictness" evalStrictness demand_info vals)

      _	    	       -> pprTrace "evalStrictness?" empty False

evalStrictness WwPrim val
  = case val of
      AbsTop -> False
      AbsBot -> True	-- Can happen: consider f (g x), where g is a 
			-- recursive function returning an Int# that diverges

      other  -> pprPanic "evalStrictness: WwPrim:" (ppr other)
\end{code}

For absence analysis, we're interested in whether "poison" in the
argument (ie a bottom therein) can propagate to the result of the
function call; that is, whether the specified demand can {\em
possibly} hit poison.

\begin{code}
evalAbsence (WwLazy True) _ = False	-- Can't possibly hit poison
					-- with Absent demand

evalAbsence (WwUnpack _ demand_info) val
  = case val of
	AbsTop	     -> False		-- No poison in here
	AbsBot 	     -> True		-- Pure poison
	AbsProd vals 
	   | not (equalLength vals demand_info) -> pprTrace "TELL SIMON: evalAbsence" (ppr demand_info $$ ppr val)
						  True
	   | otherwise -> or (zipWithEqual "evalAbsence" evalAbsence demand_info vals)
	_	       -> pprTrace "TELL SIMON: evalAbsence" 
				(ppr demand_info $$ ppr val)
			  True

evalAbsence other val = anyBot val
  -- The demand is conservative; even "Lazy" *might* evaluate the
  -- argument arbitrarily so we have to look everywhere for poison
\end{code}

Discussion about error (following/quoting Lennart): Any expression
'error e' is regarded as bottom (with HBC, with the -ffail-strict
flag, on with -O).

Regarding it as bottom gives much better strictness properties for
some functions.	 E.g.

	f [x] y = x+y
	f (x:xs) y = f xs (x+y)
i.e.
	f [] _ = error "no match"
	f [x] y = x+y
	f (x:xs) y = f xs (x+y)

is strict in y, which you really want.  But, it may lead to
transformations that turn a call to \tr{error} into non-termination.
(The odds of this happening aren't good.)

Things are a little different for absence analysis, because we want
to make sure that any poison (?????)

\begin{code}
absEval anal (Lit _) env = AbsTop
  	-- Literals terminate (strictness) and are not poison (absence)
\end{code}

\begin{code}
absEval anal (Lam bndr body) env
  | isTyVar bndr = absEval anal body env	-- Type lambda
  | otherwise    = AbsFun (idType bndr) abs_fn	-- Value lambda

	(AbsBot, _) -> AbsBot

		-- The scrutinee is a product value, so it must be of a single-constr
		-- type; so the constructor in this alternative must be the right one
		-- so we can go ahead and bind the constructor args to the components
		-- of the product value.
	    ASSERT(equalLength arg_vals val_bndrs)
	    absEval anal rhs rhs_env
	  where
	    val_bndrs = filter isId bndrs
	    rhs_env   = growAbsValEnvList alts_env (val_bndrs `zip` arg_vals)

	other -> absEvalAlts anal alts alts_env
\end{code}

For @Lets@ we widen the value we get.  This is nothing to
do with fixpointing.  The reason is so that we don't get an explosion
in the amount of computation.  For example, consider:
\begin{verbatim}
      let
	g a = case a of
		q1 -> ...
		q2 -> ...
	f x = case x of
		p1 -> ...g r...
		p2 -> ...g s...
      in
	f e
\end{verbatim}
If we bind @f@ and @g@ to their exact abstract value, then we'll
``execute'' one call to @f@ and {\em two} calls to @g@.  This can blow
up exponentially.  Widening cuts it off by making a fixed
approximation to @f@ and @g@, so that the bodies of @f@ and @g@ are
not evaluated again at all when they are called.

Of course, this can lose useful joint strictness, which is sad.  An
alternative approach would be to try with a certain amount of ``fuel''
and be prepared to bale out.

\begin{code}
absEval anal (Let (NonRec binder e1) e2) env
  = let
	new_env = addOneToAbsValEnv env binder (widen anal (absEval anal e1 env))
    in
	-- The binder of a NonRec should *not* be of unboxed type,
	-- hence no need to strictly evaluate the Rhs.
    absEval anal e2 new_env

absEval anal (Let (Rec pairs) body) env
  = let
	(binders,rhss) = unzip pairs
	rhs_vals = cheapFixpoint anal binders rhss env	-- Returns widened values
	new_env  = growAbsValEnvList env (binders `zip` rhs_vals)
    in
    absEval anal body new_env

absEval anal (Note (Coerce _ _) expr) env = AbsTop
	-- Don't look inside coerces, becuase they
	-- are usually recursive newtypes
	-- (Could improve, for the error case, but we're about
	-- to kill this analyser anyway.)
absEval anal (Note note expr) env = absEval anal expr env

    abs_fn val = not (evalAbsence dmd (absEvalAlts AbsAnal alts (addOneToAbsValEnv abs_env binder val)))
\end{code}

@findRecDemand@ is where we finally convert strictness/absence info
into ``Demands'' which we can pin on Ids (etc.).

NOTE: What do we do if something is {\em both} strict and absent?
Should \tr{f x y z = error "foo"} says that \tr{f}'s arguments are all
strict (because of bottoming effect of \tr{error}) or all absent
(because they're not used)?

Well, for practical reasons, we prefer absence over strictness.  In
particular, it makes the ``default defaults'' for class methods (the
ones that say \tr{defm.foo dict = error "I don't exist"}) come out
nicely [saying ``the dict isn't used''], rather than saying it is
strict in every component of the dictionary [massive gratuitious
casing to take the dict apart].

But you could have examples where going for strictness would be better
than absence.  Consider:
\begin{verbatim}
	let x = something big
	in
	f x y z + g x
\end{verbatim}

If \tr{x} is marked absent in \tr{f}, but not strict, and \tr{g} is
lazy, then the thunk for \tr{x} will be built.  If \tr{f} was strict,
then we'd let-to-case it:
\begin{verbatim}
	case something big of
	  x -> f x y z + g x
\end{verbatim}
Ho hum.

The @fixpoint@ functions take a list of \tr{(binder, expr)} pairs, an
environment, and returns the abstract value of each binder.

The @cheapFixpoint@ function makes a conservative approximation,
by binding each of the variables to Top in their own right hand sides.
That allows us to make rapid progress, at the cost of a less-than-wonderful
approximation.

\begin{code}
cheapFixpoint :: AnalysisKind -> [Id] -> [CoreExpr] -> AbsValEnv -> [AbsVal]

cheapFixpoint AbsAnal [id] [rhs] env
  = [crudeAbsWiden (absEval AbsAnal rhs new_env)]
  where
    new_env = addOneToAbsValEnv env id AbsTop	-- Unsafe starting point!
		    -- In the just-one-binding case, we guarantee to
		    -- find a fixed point in just one iteration,
		    -- because we are using only a two-point domain.
		    -- This improves matters in cases like:
		    --
		    --	f x y = letrec g = ...g...
		    --		in g x
		    --
		    -- Here, y isn't used at all, but if g is bound to
		    -- AbsBot we simply get AbsBot as the next
		    -- iteration too.

cheapFixpoint anal ids rhss env
  = [widen anal (absEval anal rhs new_env) | rhs <- rhss]
		-- We do just one iteration, starting from a safe
		-- approximation.  This won't do a good job in situations
		-- like:
		--	\x -> letrec f = ...g...
		--		     g = ...f...x...
		--	      in
		--	      ...f...
		-- Here, f will end up bound to Top after one iteration,
		-- and hence we won't spot the strictness in x.
		-- (A second iteration would solve this.  ToDo: try the effect of
		--  really searching for a fixed point.)
  where
    new_env = growAbsValEnvList env [(id,safe_val) | id <- ids]

    safe_val
      = case anal of	-- The safe starting point
	  StrAnal -> AbsTop
	  AbsAnal -> AbsBot
\end{code}

\begin{code}
fixpoint :: AnalysisKind -> [Id] -> [CoreExpr] -> AbsValEnv -> [AbsVal]

fixpoint anal [] _ env = []

fixpoint anal ids rhss env
  = fix_loop initial_vals
  where
    initial_val id
      = case anal of	-- The (unsafe) starting point
	  AbsAnal -> AbsTop
	  StrAnal -> AbsBot
		-- At one stage for StrAnal we said:
		--   if (returnsRealWorld (idType id))
		--   then AbsTop -- this is a massively horrible hack (SLPJ 95/05)
		-- but no one has the foggiest idea what this hack did,
		-- and returnsRealWorld was a stub that always returned False
		-- So this comment is all that is left of the hack!

    initial_vals = [ initial_val id | id <- ids ]

    fix_loop :: [AbsVal] -> [AbsVal]

    fix_loop current_widened_vals
      = let
	    new_env  = growAbsValEnvList env (ids `zip` current_widened_vals)
	    new_vals = [ absEval anal rhs new_env | rhs <- rhss ]
	    new_widened_vals = map (widen anal) new_vals
	in
	if (and (zipWith sameVal current_widened_vals new_widened_vals)) then
	    current_widened_vals

	    -- NB: I was too chicken to make that a zipWithEqual,
	    -- lest I jump into a black hole.  WDP 96/02

	    -- Return the widened values.  We might get a slightly
	    -- better value by returning new_vals (which we used to
	    -- do, see below), but alas that means that whenever the
	    -- function is called we have to re-execute it, which is
	    -- expensive.

	    -- OLD VERSION
	    -- new_vals
	    -- Return the un-widened values which may be a bit better
	    -- than the widened ones, and are guaranteed safe, since
	    -- they are one iteration beyond current_widened_vals,
	    -- which itself is a fixed point.
	else
	    fix_loop new_widened_vals
\end{code}

For absence analysis, we make do with a very very simple approach:
look for convergence in a two-point domain.

We used to use just one iteration, starting with the variables bound
to @AbsBot@, which is safe.

Prior to that, we used one iteration starting from @AbsTop@ (which
isn't safe).  Why isn't @AbsTop@ safe?  Consider:
\begin{verbatim}
	letrec
	  x = ...p..d...
	  d = (x,y)
	in
	...
\end{verbatim}
Here, if p is @AbsBot@, then we'd better {\em not} end up with a ``fixed
point'' of @d@ being @(AbsTop, AbsTop)@!  An @AbsBot@ initial value is
safe because it gives poison more often than really necessary, and
thus may miss some absence, but will never claim absence when it ain't
so.

Anyway, one iteration starting with everything bound to @AbsBot@ give
bad results for

	f = \ x -> ...f...

Here, f would always end up bound to @AbsBot@, which ain't very
clever, because then it would introduce poison whenever it was
applied.  Much better to start with f bound to @AbsTop@, and widen it
to @AbsBot@ if any poison shows up. In effect we look for convergence
in the two-point @AbsTop@/@AbsBot@ domain.

What we miss (compared with the cleverer strictness analysis) is
spotting that in this case

	f = \ x y -> ...y...(f x y')...

\tr{x} is actually absent, since it is only passed round the loop, never
used.  But who cares about missing that?

NB: despite only having a two-point domain, we may still have many
iterations, because there are several variables involved at once.
