Required value analysis for Curry programs

This analysis checks for each function in a Curry program whether the arguments of a function must have a particular shape in order to compute some value of this function. For instance, the negation operation not requires the argument value False in order to compute the result True and it requires the argument True to compute the result False.

Exported datatypes:

AType

Constructors:

  • Cons :: [QName] -> AType
  • AnyC :: AType
  • Any :: AType
AFType

The abstract type of a function. It is either EmptyFunc, i.e., contains no information about the possible result of the function, or a list of possible argument/result type pairs.

Constructors:

  • EmptyFunc :: AFType
  • AFType :: [([AType],AType)] -> AFType
