Synopsis

From the Foreword by Susan L. This book takes on the challenges of contemporary languages andarchitectures, and prepares the reader for the new compiling problems thatwill inevitably arise in the future.The definitive book on advanced compiler designThis comprehensive, up-to-date work examines advanced issues in the designand implementation of compilers for modern processors. Written forprofessionals and graduate students, the book guides readers in designingand implementing efficient structures for highly optimizing compilers forreal-world languages. Covering advanced issues in fundamental areas ofcompiler design, this book discusses a wide array of possible codeoptimizations, determining the relative importance of optimizations, andselecting the most effective methods of implementation.* Lays the foundation for understanding the major issues of advancedcompiler design* Treats optimization in-depth* Uses four case studies of commercial compiling suites to illustratedifferent approaches to compiler structure, intermediate-code design, andoptimization these include Sun Microsystems's compiler for SPARC, IBM's forPOWER and PowerPC, DEC's for Alpha, and Intel's for Pentium an relatedprocessors* Presents numerous clearly defined algorithms based on actual cases* Introduces Informal Compiler Algorithm Notation (ICAN), a language devisedby the author to communicate algorithms effectively to people
