Binding-Time Analysis + +The system classifies expressions as either static (compile-time known) or dynamic (runtime dependent): + +```scheme +(import (std compiler partial-eval)) + +;; Static values - known at compile time +(static-value? 42) ; => #t +(static-value? "hello") ; => #t +(static-value? #t) ; => #t +(static-value? '(quote data)) ; => #t + +;; Dynamic values - require runtime evaluation +(dynamic-value? 'variable) ; => #t +(dynamic-value? '(input-port)) ; => #t +``` + +### 2. Partial Evaluation Engine + +The core partial evaluator can evaluate expressions when some arguments are static: + +```scheme +;; Create static environment +(define static-env (make-hashtable symbol-hash eq?)) +(hashtable-set! static-env 'width 800) +(hashtable-set! static-env 'height 600) + +;; Partially evaluate expressions +(partial-evaluate '(+ width height) static-env) +;; => 1400 + +(partial-evaluate '(+ width x) static-env) +;; => (+ 800 x) ; width is folded, x remains dynamic + +(partial-evaluate '(* (+ width height) scale) static-env) +;; => (* 1400 scale) ; inner addition is folded +``` + +### 3. Function Specialization + +#### Manual Specialization + +Use `define-specialized` to create specialized versions of existing functions: + +```scheme +;; Original function +(define (rectangle-area width height) (* width height)) + +;; Specialized for squares (width = height) +(define-specialized square-area (rectangle-area x) x) + +(square-area 10) ; => 100, equivalent to (rectangle-area 10 10) + +;; Specialized for standard aspect ratio +(define-specialized hd-area (rectangle-area 1920) height) + +(hd-area 1080) ; => 2073600 +``` + +#### Automatic Specialization with `define/pe` + +Mark functions for partial evaluation: + +```scheme +(define/pe (power base exponent) + (if (= exponent 0) + 1 + (* base (power base (- exponent 1))))) + +;; When called with static exponent: +(power x 3) ; Can be specialized to (* x (* x (* x 1))) + ; Which cp0 optimizes to (* x x x) +``` + +### 4. Compile-Time Evaluation + +Force evaluation of expressions at compile time: + +```scheme +;; Evaluate at compile time and embed result +(define screen-pixels + (compile-time-eval '(* 1920 1080))) ; => 2073600 + +;; Complex compile-time computations +(define lookup-table + (compile-time-eval + '(let loop ([i 0] [acc '()]) + (if (= i 256) + (reverse acc) + (loop (+ i 1) (cons (* i i) acc)))))) +``` + +### 5. Built-in Optimized Functions + +The library provides several functions optimized for partial evaluation: + +#### Power Function +```scheme +(power 2 8) ; => 256 (specialized at compile time if exponent is static) +(power x 0) ; => 1 (always optimized) +(power x 1) ; => x (identity optimization) +``` + +#### Arithmetic Sequences +```scheme +(arithmetic-seq 0 2 5) ; => (0 2 4 6 8) +(arithmetic-seq 10 -1 3) ; => (10 9 8) +``` + +#### List Operations +```scheme +(define (double x) (* x 2)) +(map-const double '(1 2 3)) ; => (2 4 6) +``` + +#### Matrix Operations +```scheme +(define matrix '((1 2) (3 4))) +(matrix-scale matrix 3) ; => ((3 6) (9 12)) +``` + +### 6. Function Specialization API + +#### Programmatic Specialization + +```scheme +;; Generate specialized function code +(define spec-code + (specialize-function 'multiply '(x y) '(* x y) '(10))) + +;; spec-code generates: +;; (define multiply-specialized (lambda (y) (* 10 y))) +``` + +### 7. Configuration and Cache Management + +```scheme +;; Enable/disable auto-specialization +(enable-auto-specialization!) +(disable-auto-specialization!) +(auto-specialization-enabled?) ; => #t/#f + +;; Cache management +(clear-specialization-cache!) +(dump-specialization-stats) +``` + +## Advanced Usage Patterns + +### 1. Domain-Specific Optimization + +```scheme +;; Graphics transformations +(define/pe (transform-2d x y scale-x scale-y translate-x translate-y) + (values (+ (* x scale-x) translate-x) + (+ (* y scale-y) translate-y))) + +;; When scales and translations are known at compile time, +;; this generates highly optimized code + +;; Specialized for common case: uniform scaling with no translation +(define-specialized transform-uniform (transform-2d x y scale scale 0 0) x y) +``` + +### 2. Configuration-Based Specialization + +```scheme +;; Different algorithms based on compile-time config +(define/pe (sort-algorithm lst algorithm) + (case algorithm + [(quick) (quicksort lst)] + [(merge) (mergesort lst)] + [(heap) (heapsort lst)])) + +;; Specialized for specific algorithm +(define-specialized quick-sort (sort-algorithm lst 'quick) lst) +``` + +### 3.
