;;; Partial evaluation is Guile's most important source-to-source
;;; optimization pass.  It performs copy propagation, dead code
;;; elimination, inlining, and constant folding, all while preserving
;;; the order of effects in the residual program.
;;;
;;; For more on partial evaluation, see William Cook’s excellent
;;; tutorial on partial evaluation at DSL 2011, called “Build your own
;;; partial evaluator in 90 minutes”[0].
;;;
;;; Our implementation of this algorithm was heavily influenced by
;;; Waddell and Dybvig's paper, "Fast and Effective Procedure Inlining",
;;; IU CS Dept. TR 484.

;; Counters are data structures used to limit the effort that peval
;; spends on particular inlining attempts.  Each call site in the source
;; program is allocated some amount of effort.  If peval exceeds the
;; effort counter while attempting to inline a call site, it aborts the
;; inlining attempt and residualizes a call instead.
;;
;; As there is a fixed number of call sites, that makes `peval' O(N) in
;; the number of call sites in the source program.
;;
;; Counters should limit the size of the residual program as well, but
;; currently this is not implemented.
;;
;; At the top level, before seeing any peval call, there is no counter,
;; because inlining will terminate as there is no recursion.  When peval
;; sees a call at the top level, it will make a new counter, allocating
;; it some amount of effort and size.
;;
;; This top-level effort counter effectively "prints money".  Within a
;; toplevel counter, no more effort is printed ex nihilo; for a nested
;; inlining attempt to proceed, effort must be transferred from the
;; toplevel counter to the nested counter.
;;
;; Via `data' and `prev', counters form a linked list, terminating in a
;; toplevel counter.  In practice `data' will be the a pointer to the
;; source expression of the procedure being inlined.
;;
;; In this way peval can detect a recursive inlining attempt, by walking
;; back on the `prev' links looking for matching `data'.  Recursive
;; counters receive a more limited effort allocation, as we don't want
;; to spend all of the effort for a toplevel inlining site on loops.
;; Also, recursive counters don't need a prompt at each inlining site:
;; either the call chain folds entirely, or it will be residualized at
;; its original call.
