Original bug ID: 4918
Reporter: viktorva
Assigned to: @mshinwell
Status: resolved (set by @mshinwell on 2016-12-06T21:50:59Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: feature
Fixed in version: 4.03.0
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)
Monitored by: ronan.lehy@gmail.com "Julien Signoles" @hcarty

Bug description

ocamlopt does not recognise direct function applications which arise from inlining even trivial functions. For example,

let id f = f
let rec f n = if n <= 0 then 0 else n * f (n - 1)

let _ = f 10
let _ = id f 20

generates:

...
mov eax, 21
call _camlTest__f_60 % Direct call for f 10
L105:
mov ebx, DWORD PTR _camlTest+4
mov eax, 41
mov ecx, DWORD PTR [ebx]
call ecx % Indirect call to f 20
L106:

The call to id is correctly inlined, but then the direct call is not recognised.

This deficiency should be fixed by Flambda, which can re-examine the results of inlining.
