Abstract
Processing a dataflow program by a program development tool includes detecting a pair of actors defined by dataflow program instructions, wherein the pair of actors include a producer actor and a consumer actor, the producer actor supplying a data structure to the consumer actor via a path that comprises at least one connection and possibly also intervening other actors. An analysis is performed including analyzing one or more operations of the producer actor that involve the data structure and/or analyzing one or more operations of the consumer actor that involve the data structure. A result of the analysis is used as a basis for selecting a minimal amount of information from among a plurality of data handling possibilities concerning the data structure. A transformed program is produced in which the selected minimal amount of information is caused to be passed from the producer actor to the consumer actor.
