Understanding core2core optimisation pipeline

[Jan Stolarek]

Thanks guys. I've read the wiki page about demand analysis and things start to make a bit more 
sense now.

I'm looking at recent HEAD. But I'm not sure if we're thinking about the same thing. If you mean 
Joachim's work on call arity then I believe this is only realted to callArityInfo field of 
IdInfo. I'm interested in the oneShotInfo field of IdInfo.

No, I don't think that's the answer. I mean I imagine that when we import things from interface 
files we get this information. But I'm interested in how this information is generated when we 
compile things in the current module.

One more question about reading the demand analysis results:

  Str=DmdType <S,1*U>

Here the argument is demanded once. But what if I have:

  Str=DmdType <S,U>

Does the lack of `1*` imply that the argument is used many times?
