What's the benefit of local functions?

• .NET Runtime

  608 14,139 10.0 C#

  .NET is a cross-platform runtime for cloud, mobile, desktop, and IoT apps.

  

The lifetime problem should not be that complicated, because the class/lambda allocation is contained entirely within the method. There's an open issue on the runtime repo about object stack allocation that would on paper alleviate some of these issues, but it's quite stagnated. In my toy optimizer, I made a buggy pattern matching transform for "concretizing" lambdas invocations using very little code, but implementing something like this in the JIT can be quite challenging, based on my limited experience.

• DistIL

  4 108 8.5 C#

  Post-build IL optimizer and intermediate representation for .NET programs
