Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains the papers presented at the 3rd Glasgow Workshop on Functional Programming which was held at Ullapool in August, 1990. The papers vary from the theoretical to the pragmatic, with emphasis on the characteristic application in functional programming of theoretical ideas to practical problems. Material is also offered on using functional languages for particular applications and on debugging and profiling functional programmes. Among the other topics addressed are analysis of lifetimes, strictness and heap contents, the relationship between forward and backward analysis, improved programme compilation, partial applications and parallel programming.
