Component Approach for Construction of Optimizing Compilers

摘要

The present state of the IT industry is characterized by a large variety of computing systems. An optimizing compiler is the main tool for the efficient use of the hardware capabilities of such systems. The main purpose of optimizing compiler is to obtain a code that is the most efficient for the given computing system. A modern optimizing compiler is a software tool used to compile a program developed in some input programming language (C, C++, Fortran, etc.) or represented in machine code (x86, SPARC, etc.) into some output language or machine code. In the process of compilation, the program is sequentially transformed into intermediate representations used to retain the program semantics. Analysis and optimization algorithms are implemented at the interfaces between the intermediate representations.
