Intermediate Language Selection • Low Vs. High level control flow structures • Flat Vs. Hierarchical (tree) • Machine Vs. High level of instructions • (Symbolic) Registers Vs. Stack • Normal forms (SSA) • Intermediate forms: Control Flow Graph, Call Graph, Program Dependence Graph • Issues: Engineering, efficiency, portability, optimization level

Advanced Issues inElementary Topics • Symbol table management(3) • Efficiency • Overloading • Type Inference • Intermediate Language Selection(4) • Run-Time Support(5) • Producing Code Generators (6)
Run-Time Support • Data representation and instructions • Register usage • Stack frames (activation records) • Parameter passing disciplines • Symbolic and polymorphic language support • Garbage Collection

The Importance of Optimizations • One pass compilers produce slow code • Much of the time spent in loops • optimize loops • Machines can be simpler and faster if optimizing compilers are used (RISC, VLIW) • Programs are complex and general • Compilers need to be modular
SPARC code ldw a, r1 ldw b, r2 add r1, r2, r3 stw r3, c ldw c, r3 add r3, 1, r4 stw r4, d Optimized SPARC code add r1, r2, r3 add r3, 1, r4 C code int a, b, c, d; c = a + b; d = c + 1; 2 cycles 10 cycles
Application Dependent Optimizations • Functional programs • replacement of recursion by loops (tail-calls elimination) • replacement of heap by stack • Object Oriented Programs • Dead member elimination • Replacement of virtual by static function • Numeric Code • Database Code

Mixed vs. Low Level Optimizers • Mixed • Sun-SPARC, Dec. Alpha, SGI-MIPS, Intel’s 386 • Easier to port • More efficient compilation? • Supports CISC • Low Level • HP-PA-RISC/IBM-Power PC • More efficient code • Conceptually simpler (in RISC) • Used for multiple programming languages
Translation by Preprocessing • Some programming languages are translated into C • Elimination of includes, C++(cfront), Haskel • Quick and portable solution • C supports some indirect source level debugging • Other examples: Fortran into “vector” Fortran program
