Subject: bug#61660: [feature request] optimization of case-lambda
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2023 18:56:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8EDEC1EC-EC48-474D-88A0-9CE25436A961@sarc.name> (raw)


On 3.0.9

= ((case-lambda (() 0) ((a) 1)))


The problem with this is that when the output of a macro contains case-lambda, recursive application results in geometrical increase of code size. It seems that it should be possible to resolve the application on the spot; at last to reduce the case-lambda to a simple lambda when the arity is available (which now only happens when the case-lambda contains a single clause).

Thanks
