Abstract
Regarding the precision of combined domains including Jacobs and Langen's Sharing there is a core of techniques, such as the standard integration with freeness and linearity information, that are widely used and well accepted. However, a number of other proposals for refined domain combinations have been circulating more or less clandestinely for years. One feature that is common to these proposals is that they do not seem to have undergone experimental evaluation. We question whether significantly more precision is obtainable thanks to these techniques. In particular, we discuss and/or experimentally evaluate: helping Sharing with definitely ground variables computed with Pos; the incorporation of explicit structural information into the domain of analysis; more sophisticated ways of integrating Sharing and Pos; the issue of reordering the bindings in the computation of the abstract mgu; an original proposal concerning the addition of a domain recording the set of variables that are deemed to be ground or free; a more refined way of using linearity to improve the analysis; the issue of whether tracking compoundness allows to compute more precise sharing information; and, finally, the recovery of hidden information in the combination of Sharing with the usual domain for freeness.
