Synopsis

This book offers a novel structural analysis technique applicable to flow analysis in optimizing compilers. The technique extends methods developed to produce a program representation that detects and records structured control flow patterns. Enabled by this technique, the book presents an approach to data flow analysis which is shown to be faster than interval-based methods. The author also discusses broader implications for flow graph-based program analysis and direct analysis of a program's parse tree. Using accessible and inviting language, the author provides a theoretical framework that is both significant and illuminating, promising to have a major impact on the field of program optimization.
