TY - JOUR AU - Danvy, Olivier AU - Rhiger, Morten PY - 1998/01/13 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Compiling Actions by Partial Evaluation, Revisited JF - BRICS Report Series JA - BRICS VL - 5 IS - 13 SE - Articles DO - 10.7146/brics.v5i13.19285 UR - https://tidsskrift.dk/brics/article/view/19285 SP - AB - We revisit Bondorf and Palsberg's compilation of actions using< the offline syntax-directed partial evaluator Similix (FPCA'93, JFP'96), and we compare it in detail with using an online type-directed partial evaluator. In contrast to Similix, our type-directed partial evaluator is idempotent and requires no "binding-time improvements." It also appears to consume about 7 times less space and to be about 28 times faster than Similix, and to yield residual programs that are perceptibly more efficient than those generated by Similix.
