KnownCase 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>
This pass duplicates and simplifies <tt>Case</tt> transfers when the constructor of the scrutinee is known.
</p>
<p>
Uses <a href="Restore">Restore</a>.
</p>
<p>
For example, the program
<pre class=code>
<B><FONT COLOR="#A020F0">val</FONT></B> <B><FONT COLOR="#A020F0">rec</FONT></B> last =
<B><FONT COLOR="#A020F0">fn</FONT></B> [] => <B><FONT COLOR="#5F9EA0">0</FONT></B>
| [x] => x
| _ :: l => last l
<B><FONT COLOR="#A020F0">val</FONT></B> _ = <B><FONT COLOR="#5F9EA0">1</FONT></B> + last [<B><FONT COLOR="#5F9EA0">2</FONT></B>, <B><FONT COLOR="#5F9EA0">3</FONT></B>, <B><FONT COLOR="#5F9EA0">4</FONT></B>, <B><FONT COLOR="#5F9EA0">5</FONT></B>, <B><FONT COLOR="#5F9EA0">6</FONT></B>, <B><FONT COLOR="#5F9EA0">7</FONT></B>]
</PRE>
gives rise to the <a href="SSA">SSA</a> function
<pre>fun last_0 (x_142) = loopS_1 ()
loopS_1 ()
loop_11 (x_142)
loop_11 (x_143)
case x_143 of

L_73 ()
return global_5
L_74 (x_145, x_144)

nil_1 => L_75 | _ => L_76
L_75 ()
return x_144
L_76 ()
loop_11 (x_145)
</pre>which is simplified to
<pre>fun last_0 (x_142) = loopS_1 ()
loopS_1 ()
case x_142 of
nil_1 => L_73 | ::_0 => L_118
L_73 ()

L_118 (x_230, x_229)
L_74 (x_230, x_229, x_142)
L_74 (x_145, x_144, x_232)
case x_145 of

<p>
One interesting aspect of KnownCase, is that it often has the effect of unrolling list traversals by one iteration, moving the <tt>nil</tt>/<tt>::</tt> check to the end of the loop, rather than the beginning.
