LambdaFree is an analysis pass for the SXML IntermediateLanguage, invoked from ClosureConvert.
Description
This pass descends the entire SXML program and attaches a property
to each Lambda PrimExp.t in the program. Then, you can use
lambdaFree and lambdaRec to get free variables of that Lambda.
Implementation
Details and Notes
For Lambda-s bound in a Fun dec, lambdaFree gives the union of
the frees of the entire group of mutually recursive functions. Hence,
lambdaFree for every Lambda in a single Fun dec is the same.
Furthermore, for a Lambda bound in a Fun dec, lambdaRec gives
the list of other functions bound in the same dec defining that
Lambda.
For example:
val rec f = fn x => ... y ... g ... f ... and g = fn z => ... f ... w ...
lambdaFree(fn x =>) = [y, w] lambdaFree(fn z =>) = [y, w] lambdaRec(fn x =>) = [g, f] lambdaRec(fn z =>) = [f]
