CommonSubexp is an optimization pass for the <a href="SSA">SSA</a> <a href="IntermediateLanguage">IntermediateLanguage</a>, invoked from <a href="SSASimplify">SSASimplify</a>. <h2 id="head-55f8ebc805e65b5b71ddafdae390e3be2bcd69af">Description</h2>
<p>
It eliminates instances of common subexpressions.

<p>
In addition to getting the usual sorts of things like
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<pre> (w + 0wx1) + (w + 0wx1)
</pre> rewritten to
<pre> let val w' = w + 0wx1 in w' + w' end
</pre>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
it also gets things like
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<pre> val a = Array_array n
val b = Array_length a
</pre> rewritten to
<pre> val a = Array_array n
val b = n
</pre>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<tt>Arith</tt> transfers are handled specially. The <em>result</em> of an <tt>Arith</tt> transfer can be used in <em>common</em> <tt>Arith</tt> transfers that it dominates:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<pre> val l = (n + m) + (n + m)
val k = (l + n) + ((l + m) handle Overflow => ((l + m)
handle Overflow => l + n))
</pre> is rewritten so that <tt>(n + m)</tt> is computed exactly once, as are <tt>(l + n)</tt> and <tt>(l + m)</tt>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
