As Note [Eta-expansion and join points] describes, this patch makes arityType deal correctly with join points. What was there before was not wrong, but yielded lower arities than it could. Fixes #18328 In base GHC this makes no difference to nofib. Program Size Allocs Runtime Elapsed TotalMem -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- n-body -0.1% -0.1% -1.2% -1.1% 0.0% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Min -0.1% -0.1% -55.0% -56.5% 0.0% Max -0.0% 0.0% +16.1% +13.4% 0.0% Geometric Mean -0.0% -0.0% -30.1% -31.0% -0.0% But it starts to make real difference when we land the change to the way mkDupableAlts handles StrictArg, in fixing #13253 and friends. I think this is because we then get more non-inlined join points.
