Semantic Analyses for Storage Management Optimizations in Functional Language Implementations (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Unlocks how to cut storage overhead in functional language implementations.
This book presents compile-time analyses that reveal object lifetimes and reuse opportunities to optimize memory management.
In clear, accessible terms, it explains how static lifetime information can reduce dynamic allocation and reclamation costs. It covers a suite of analyses for higher-order, polymorphic languages and shows how those insights translate into practical optimization techniques.- Learn about escape analysis and refined variants that track object lifetimes inside functions and across data structures.
- See how order-of-demand and before semantics inform strictness, evaluation order, and evaluation status in lazy and non-strict languages.
- Discover storage management techniques such as stack allocation, in-place reuse, explicit reclamation, and optimizations to garbage collection.
- Understand the theoretical foundation that connects abstract interpretation with concrete compiler optimizations for functional languages.

Semantic Analyses for Storage Management Optimizations in Functional Language
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of lifetime information for dynamically allocated objects in higher-order polymorphic functional languages and how that information can be used to reduce storage management overheads during a program's execution. This concept of lifetime information is vital for understanding how to improve the performance of functional languages and is essential for any language implementation on conventional computers. The author presents a set of compile-time semantic analyses for higher-order, monomorphic, strict functional languages based on denotational semantics and abstract interpretation. It presents escape analysis, reined escape analysis, reference escape analysis, and order of-demand analysis, each a novel method for analyzing functional languages. These methods provide information about the relative lifetimes of objects referred to as "escapement of objects," allowing the implementation to use this information for optimizations such as stack allocation, explicit reclamation, and in-place reuse. The insights provided by this book will be of great value to compiler designers, implementors of functional languages, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of storage management in functional language implementations.
