Abstract
Defunctionalization is generally considered a whole-program transformation
and thus incompatible with separate compilation. In this paper, we formalize
a modular variant of defunctionalization which can support separate
compilation for a functional programming language with parametric
polymorphism. Our technique allows modules in a Haskell-like language to be
separately defunctionalized and compiled, then linked together to generate
an executable program. We provide a prototype implementation of our modular
defunctionalization technique and we discuss the experiences of its
application in compiling a large subset of Haskell to low-level C code,
based on the intensional transformation.
