Fixing some space leaks without a garbage collector
Jan Sparud · 1993
This paper describes amethod for eliminating a certain class of space leaksin lazy functional languages.A program that space leaks consumes more memory than would be expected.This may lead to longer execution time, or that the program unnecessarily runs out of memory.It has been known for a long time that functions returning tuples may give rise to space leaks.Hughes [Hug83] has shown that some programs
