[mercury-users] Optimisation of functions and field updates

[Michael Day]

Hi,

Say I have the following code:

	X = f1(f2(f3(f4(X0))))

where

	f1(X) = X ^ field1 := blah.
	f2(X) = X ^ field2 := blah.
	...

If the functions were inlined, then the multiple field updates could be
combined into a single update, but it appears that this is not happening,
as I get a speed boost when I replaced the function calls with explicit
field updates, even at -O5.

Is there some reason why these functions will not be inlined, or why the
multiple field updates will not be recognised and combined after inlining?

Michael
