Abstract
All modern compilers provide inlining, an optimization which replaces a func-
tion call by the function body. Implementations of inlining are usually focused
on speci¯c source languages or on speci¯c algorithms to decide which functions
should be inlined. We describe the implementation of a general inlining im-
plementation in the program transformation language Stratego. This inliner
should be usable for diŽerent source languages and decision algorithms. The
implementation separates the analysis and transformation of the program, the
traversal of the program and the decision when to do inlining. In addition, the
implementation of several other optimizations that are enabled by inlining is
discussed in the context of the highly optimizable Pan language.
