The VDL formalization of PL/I does not guarantee this behavior. I am
not, however, at all fearful that some optimizer may behave
differently, at least for long.
There is an old understanding common to scientific and business
programming that aggregates, arrays and structures|records, are likely

Subject: Preventing the deletion of unreferenced strings by optimizing
compilers
I wanted to test my notion before presenting it, and it does turn out that

This certainly seems like a reasonable behavior for an optimizing
compiler, but does the formal PL/I semantics demand the behavior you
have observed or is this just the current implementation behavior? If
this behavior is not formalized in language semantics, does that not
allow a more sophisticat
I wanted to test my notion before presenting it, and it does turn out
that embedding an unreferenced value in a structure (COBOL record) at
least one other element of which is referenced in an executable
statement ensures that that structure will not be deleted.
