For DFunUnfoldings we were failing to occurrence-analyse the unfolding, and that meant that a loop breaker wasn't marked as such, which in turn meant it was inlined away when it still had occurrence sites. See Note [Occurrrence analysis of unfoldings] in CoreUnfold. This is a pretty long-standing bug, happily nailed by John Lato. (cherry picked from commit 87bbc69c)

Core-syntax unfoldings
Unfoldings (which can travel across module boundaries) are in Core
syntax (namely @CoreExpr@s).
The type @Unfolding@ sits ``above'' simply-Core-expressions
unfoldings, capturing ``higher-level'' things we know about a binding,
usually things that the simplifier found out (e.g., ``it's a
literal''). In the corner of a @CoreUnfolding@ unfolding, you will
find, unsurprisingly, a Core expression.

Note [Occurrence analysis of unfoldings]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We do occurrence-analysis of unfoldings once and for all, when the
unfolding is built, rather than each time we inline them.
But given this decision it's vital that we do
*always* do it. Consider this unfolding
\x -> letrec { f = ...g...; g* = f } in body
where g* is (for some strange reason) the loop breaker. If we don't
occ-anal it when reading it in, we won't mark g as a loop breaker, and
we may inline g entirely in body, dropping its binding, and leaving
the occurrence in f out of scope. This happened in Trac #8892, where
the unfolding in question was a DFun unfolding.
But more generally, the simplifier is designed on the
basis that it is looking at occurrence-analysed expressions, so better
ensure that they acutally are.
Note [Calculate unfolding guidance on the non-occ-anal'd expression]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notice that we give the non-occur-analysed expression to
calcUnfoldingGuidance. In some ways it'd be better to occur-analyse
first; for example, sometimes during simplification, there's a large
let-bound thing which has been substituted, and so is now dead; so
'expr' contains two copies of the thing while the occurrence-analysed
expression doesn't.
Nevertheless, we *don't* and *must not* occ-analyse before computing
the size because
a) The size computation bales out after a while, whereas occurrence
analysis does not.
b) Residency increases sharply if you occ-anal first. I'm not
100% sure why, but it's a large effect. Compiling Cabal went
from residency of 534M to over 800M with this one change.
This can occasionally mean that the guidance is very pessimistic;
it gets fixed up next round. And it should be rare, because large
let-bound things that are dead are usually caught by preInlineUnconditionally

Note [Computing the size of an expression]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The basic idea of sizeExpr is obvious enough: count nodes. But getting the
heuristics right has taken a long time. Here's the basic strategy:
* Variables, literals: 0
(Exception for string literals, see litSize.)
* Function applications (f e1 .. en): 1 + #value args
* Constructor applications: 1, regardless of #args
* Let(rec): 1 + size of components
* Note, cast: 0
Examples
Size Term
--------------
0 42#
0 x
0 True
2 f x
1 Just x
4 f (g x)
Notice that 'x' counts 0, while (f x) counts 2. That's deliberate: there's
a function call to account for. Notice also that constructor applications
are very cheap, because exposing them to a caller is so valuable.
[25/5/11] All sizes are now multiplied by 10, except for primops
(which have sizes like 1 or 4. This makes primops look fantastically
cheap, and seems to be almost unversally beneficial. Done partly as a
result of #4978.
Note [Do not inline top-level bottoming functions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The FloatOut pass has gone to some trouble to float out calls to 'error'
and similar friends. See Note [Bottoming floats] in SetLevels.
Do not re-inline them! But we *do* still inline if they are very small
(the uncondInline stuff).
Note [INLINE for small functions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider {-# INLINE f #-}
f x = Just x
g y = f y
Then f's RHS is no larger than its LHS, so we should inline it into
even the most boring context. In general, f the function is
sufficiently small that its body is as small as the call itself, the
inline unconditionally, regardless of how boring the context is.
Things to note:
(1) We inline *unconditionally* if inlined thing is smaller (using sizeExpr)
than the thing it's replacing. Notice that
(f x) --> (g 3) -- YES, unconditionally
(f x) --> x : [] -- YES, *even though* there are two
-- arguments to the cons
x --> g 3 -- NO
x --> Just v -- NO
It's very important not to unconditionally replace a variable by
a non-atomic term.
(2) We do this even if the thing isn't saturated, else we end up with the
silly situation that
f x y = x
...map (f 3)...
doesn't inline. Even in a boring context, inlining without being
saturated will give a lambda instead of a PAP, and will be more
efficient at runtime.
(3) However, when the function's arity > 0, we do insist that it
has at least one value argument at the call site. (This check is
made in the UnfWhen case of callSiteInline.) Otherwise we find this:
f = /\a \x:a. x
d = /\b. MkD (f b)
If we inline f here we get
d = /\b. MkD (\x:b. x)
and then prepareRhs floats out the argument, abstracting the type
variables, so we end up with the original again!
(4) We must be much more cautious about arity-zero things. Consider
let x = y +# z in ...
In *size* terms primops look very small, because the generate a
single instruction, but we do not want to unconditionally replace
every occurrence of x with (y +# z). So we only do the
unconditional-inline thing for *trivial* expressions.
NB: you might think that PostInlineUnconditionally would do this
but it doesn't fire for top-level things; see SimplUtils

Note [Constructor size and result discount]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Treat a constructors application as size 10, regardless of how many
arguments it has; we are keen to expose them (and we charge separately
for their args). We can't treat them as size zero, else we find that
(Just x) has size 0, which is the same as a lone variable; and hence
'v' will always be replaced by (Just x), where v is bound to Just x.
The "result discount" is applied if the result of the call is
scrutinised (say by a case). For a constructor application that will
mean the constructor application will disappear, so we don't need to
charge it to the function. So the discount should at least match the
cost of the constructor application, namely 10. But to give a bit
of extra incentive we give a discount of 10*(1 + n_val_args).
Simon M tried a MUCH bigger discount: (10 * (10 + n_val_args)),
and said it was an "unambiguous win", but its terribly dangerous
because a fuction with many many case branches, each finishing with
a constructor, can have an arbitrarily large discount. This led to
terrible code bloat: see Trac #6099.
Note [Unboxed tuple size and result discount]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However, unboxed tuples count as size zero. I found occasions where we had
f x y z = case op# x y z of { s -> (# s, () #) }
and f wasn't getting inlined.
I tried giving unboxed tuples a *result discount* of zero (see the
commented-out line). Why? When returned as a result they do not
allocate, so maybe we don't want to charge so much for them If you
have a non-zero discount here, we find that workers often get inlined
back into wrappers, because it look like
f x = case $wf x of (# a,b #) -> (a,b)
and we are keener because of the case. However while this change
shrank binary sizes by 0.5% it also made spectral/boyer allocate 5%
more. All other changes were very small. So it's not a big deal but I
didn't adopt the idea.
Note [Function and non-function discounts]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We want a discount if the function is applied. A good example is
monadic combinators with continuation arguments, where inlining is
quite important.
But we don't want a big discount when a function is called many times
(see the detailed comments with Trac #6048) because if the function is
big it won't be inlined at its many call sites and no benefit results.
Indeed, we can get exponentially big inlinings this way; that is what
Trac #6048 is about.
On the other hand, for data-valued arguments, if there are lots of
case expressions in the body, each one will get smaller if we apply
the function to a constructor application, so we *want* a big discount
if the argument is scrutinised by many case expressions.
Conclusion:
- For functions, take the max of the discounts
- For data values, take the sum of the discounts
Note [Literal integer size]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Literal integers *can* be big (mkInteger [...coefficients...]), but
need not be (S# n). We just use an aribitrary big-ish constant here
so that, in particular, we don't inline top-level defns like
n = S# 5
There's no point in doing so -- any optimisations will see the S#
through n's unfolding. Nor will a big size inhibit unfoldings functions
that mention a literal Integer, because the float-out pass will float
all those constants to top level.

Note [addAltSize result discounts]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When adding the size of alternatives, we *add* the result discounts
too, rather than take the *maximum*. For a multi-branch case, this
gives a discount for each branch that returns a constructor, making us
keener to inline. I did try using 'max' instead, but it makes nofib
'rewrite' and 'puzzle' allocate significantly more, and didn't make
binary sizes shrink significantly either.
Note [Discounts and thresholds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Constants for discounts and thesholds are defined in main/DynFlags,
all of form ufXxxx. They are:
ufCreationThreshold
At a definition site, if the unfolding is bigger than this, we
may discard it altogether
ufUseThreshold
At a call site, if the unfolding, less discounts, is smaller than
this, then it's small enough inline
ufKeenessFactor
Factor by which the discounts are multiplied before
subtracting from size
ufDictDiscount
The discount for each occurrence of a dictionary argument
as an argument of a class method. Should be pretty small
else big functions may get inlined
ufFunAppDiscount
Discount for a function argument that is applied. Quite
large, because if we inline we avoid the higher-order call.
ufDearOp
The size of a foreign call or not-dupable PrimOp
Note [Function applications]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a function application (f a b)
- If 'f' is an argument to the function being analysed,
and there's at least one value arg, record a FunAppDiscount for f
- If the application if a PAP (arity > 2 in this example)
record a *result* discount (because inlining
with "extra" args in the call may mean that we now
get a saturated application)
Code for manipulating sizes
\begin{code}
data ExprSize = TooBig
| SizeIs FastInt -- Size found
!(Bag (Id,Int)) -- Arguments cased herein, and discount for each such
FastInt -- Size to subtract if result is scrutinised
-- by a case expression

ppr TooBig = ptext (sLit "TooBig")
ppr (SizeIs a _ c) = brackets (int (iBox a) <+> int (iBox c))

-- tup = (a_1, ..., a_99)

Note [certainlyWillInline: be caseful of thunks]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't claim that thunks will certainly inline, because that risks work
duplication. Even if the work duplication is not great (eg is_cheap
holds), it can make a big difference in an inner loop In Trac #5623 we
found that the WorkWrap phase thought that
y = case x of F# v -> F# (v +# v)
was certainlyWillInline, so the addition got duplicated.

\subsection{callSiteInline}
%* *
%************************************************************************
This is the key function. It decides whether to inline a variable at a call site
callSiteInline is used at call sites, so it is a bit more generous.
It's a very important function that embodies lots of heuristics.
A non-WHNF can be inlined if it doesn't occur inside a lambda,
and occurs exactly once or
occurs once in each branch of a case and is small
If the thing is in WHNF, there's no danger of duplicating work,
so we can inline if it occurs once, or is small
NOTE: we don't want to inline top-level functions that always diverge.
It just makes the code bigger. Tt turns out that the convenient way to prevent
them inlining is to give them a NOINLINE pragma, which we do in

Note [Unfold into lazy contexts], Note [RHS of lets]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the call is the argument of a function with a RULE, or the RHS of a let,
we are a little bit keener to inline. For example
f y = (y,y,y)
g y = let x = f y in ...(case x of (a,b,c) -> ...) ...
We'd inline 'f' if the call was in a case context, and it kind-of-is,
only we can't see it. Also
x = f v
could be expensive whereas
x = case v of (a,b) -> a
is patently cheap and may allow more eta expansion.
So we treat the RHS of a let as not-totally-boring.
Note [Unsaturated applications]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a call is not saturated, we *still* inline if one of the
arguments has interesting structure. That's sometimes very important.
A good example is the Ord instance for Bool in Base:
Rec {
$fOrdBool =GHC.Classes.D:Ord
@ Bool
...
$cmin_ajX
$cmin_ajX [Occ=LoopBreaker] :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
$cmin_ajX = GHC.Classes.$dmmin @ Bool $fOrdBool
}
But the defn of GHC.Classes.$dmmin is:
$dmmin :: forall a. GHC.Classes.Ord a => a -> a -> a
{- Arity: 3, HasNoCafRefs, Strictness: SLL,
Unfolding: (\ @ a $dOrd :: GHC.Classes.Ord a x :: a y :: a ->
case @ a GHC.Classes.<= @ a $dOrd x y of wild {
GHC.Types.False -> y GHC.Types.True -> x }) -}
We *really* want to inline $dmmin, even though it has arity 3, in
order to unravel the recursion.
Note [Things to watch]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* { y = I# 3; x = y `cast` co; ...case (x `cast` co) of ... }
Assume x is exported, so not inlined unconditionally.
Then we want x to inline unconditionally; no reason for it
not to, and doing so avoids an indirection.
* { x = I# 3; ....f x.... }
Make sure that x does not inline unconditionally!
Lest we get extra allocation.
Note [Inlining an InlineRule]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An InlineRules is used for
(a) programmer INLINE pragmas
(b) inlinings from worker/wrapper
For (a) the RHS may be large, and our contract is that we *only* inline
when the function is applied to all the arguments on the LHS of the
source-code defn. (The uf_arity in the rule.)
However for worker/wrapper it may be worth inlining even if the
arity is not satisfied (as we do in the CoreUnfolding case) so we don't
require saturation.
Note [Nested functions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a function has a nested defn we also record some-benefit, on the
grounds that we are often able to eliminate the binding, and hence the
allocation, for the function altogether; this is good for join points.
But this only makes sense for *functions*; inlining a constructor
doesn't help allocation unless the result is scrutinised. UNLESS the
constructor occurs just once, albeit possibly in multiple case
branches. Then inlining it doesn't increase allocation, but it does
increase the chance that the constructor won't be allocated at all in
the branches that don't use it.
Note [Cast then apply]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
myIndex = __inline_me ( (/\a. <blah>) |> co )
co :: (forall a. a -> a) ~ (forall a. T a)
... /\a.\x. case ((myIndex a) |> sym co) x of { ... } ...
We need to inline myIndex to unravel this; but the actual call (myIndex a) has
no value arguments. The ValAppCtxt gives it enough incentive to inline.
Note [Inlining in ArgCtxt]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The condition (arity > 0) here is very important, because otherwise
we end up inlining top-level stuff into useless places; eg
x = I# 3#
f = \y. g x
This can make a very big difference: it adds 16% to nofib 'integer' allocs,
and 20% to 'power'.
At one stage I replaced this condition by 'True' (leading to the above
slow-down). The motivation was test eyeball/inline1.hs; but that seems
to work ok now.
NOTE: arguably, we should inline in ArgCtxt only if the result of the
call is at least CONLIKE. At least for the cases where we use ArgCtxt
for the RHS of a 'let', we only profit from the inlining if we get a
CONLIKE thing (modulo lets).
Note [Lone variables] See also Note [Interaction of exprIsWorkFree and lone variables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ which appears below
The "lone-variable" case is important. I spent ages messing about
with unsatisfactory varaints, but this is nice. The idea is that if a
variable appears all alone
as an arg of lazy fn, or rhs BoringCtxt
as scrutinee of a case CaseCtxt
as arg of a fn ArgCtxt
AND
it is bound to a cheap expression
then we should not inline it (unless there is some other reason,
e.g. is is the sole occurrence). That is what is happening at
the use of 'lone_variable' in 'interesting_call'.
Why? At least in the case-scrutinee situation, turning
let x = (a,b) in case x of y -> ...
into
let x = (a,b) in case (a,b) of y -> ...
and thence to
let x = (a,b) in let y = (a,b) in ...
is bad if the binding for x will remain.
Another example: I discovered that strings
were getting inlined straight back into applications of 'error'
because the latter is strict.
s = "foo"
f = \x -> ...(error s)...
Fundamentally such contexts should not encourage inlining because the
context can ``see'' the unfolding of the variable (e.g. case or a
RULE) so there's no gain. If the thing is bound to a value.
However, watch out:
* Consider this:
foo = _inline_ (\n. [n])
bar = _inline_ (foo 20)
baz = \n. case bar of { (m:_) -> m + n }
Here we really want to inline 'bar' so that we can inline 'foo'
and the whole thing unravels as it should obviously do. This is
important: in the NDP project, 'bar' generates a closure data
structure rather than a list.
So the non-inlining of lone_variables should only apply if the
unfolding is regarded as cheap; because that is when exprIsConApp_maybe
looks through the unfolding. Hence the "&& is_wf" in the
InlineRule branch.
* Even a type application or coercion isn't a lone variable.
Consider
case $fMonadST @ RealWorld of { :DMonad a b c -> c }
We had better inline that sucker! The case won't see through it.
For now, I'm treating treating a variable applied to types
in a *lazy* context "lone". The motivating example was
f = /\a. \x. BIG
g = /\a. \y. h (f a)
There's no advantage in inlining f here, and perhaps
a significant disadvantage. Hence some_val_args in the Stop case
Note [Interaction of exprIsWorkFree and lone variables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The lone-variable test says "don't inline if a case expression
scrutines a lone variable whose unfolding is cheap". It's very
important that, under these circumstances, exprIsConApp_maybe
can spot a constructor application. So, for example, we don't
consider
let x = e in (x,x)
to be cheap, and that's good because exprIsConApp_maybe doesn't
think that expression is a constructor application.
In the 'not (lone_variable && is_wf)' test, I used to test is_value
rather than is_wf, which was utterly wrong, because the above
expression responds True to exprIsHNF, which is what sets is_value.
This kind of thing can occur if you have
{-# INLINE foo #-}
foo = let x = e in (x,x)
which Roman did.

Interesting arguments
%* *
%************************************************************************
Note [Interesting arguments]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An argument is interesting if it deserves a discount for unfoldings
with a discount in that argument position. The idea is to avoid
unfolding a function that is applied only to variables that have no
unfolding (i.e. they are probably lambda bound): f x y z There is
little point in inlining f here.
Generally, *values* (like (C a b) and (\x.e)) deserve discounts. But
we must look through lets, eg (let x = e in C a b), because the let will
float, exposing the value, if we inline. That makes it different to
exprIsHNF.
Before 2009 we said it was interesting if the argument had *any* structure
at all; i.e. (hasSomeUnfolding v). But does too much inlining; see Trac #3016.
But we don't regard (f x y) as interesting, unless f is unsaturated.
If it's saturated and f hasn't inlined, then it's probably not going
to now!
Note [Conlike is interesting]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
f d = ...((*) d x y)...
... f (df d')...
where df is con-like. Then we'd really like to inline 'f' so that the
rule for (*) (df d) can fire. To do this
a) we give a discount for being an argument of a class-op (eg (*) d)
b) we say that a con-like argument (eg (df d)) is interesting
