Abstract: We built a system in which the compiler back end and the linker work together to present an abstract machine at a considerably higher level than the actual machine. The intermediate language translated by the back end is the target language of all high-level compilers and is also the only assembly language generally available. This lets us do intermodule register allocation, which would be harder if some of the code in the program had come from a traditional assembler, out of sight of the ... (Update)

...optimization and code generation. There are other optimizing linkers, but they are intended for a family of related architectures [13, 23] or use machinelevel intermediate representations such as register transfers [2, 21] In this paper, we present the results of applying...
...into several broad categories. Chief among them have been triples and quadruples [11] Abstract Syntax Trees [5] and Virtual Machines [12, 2]. The notion of machine independence as an attribute of intermediate representation has certainly been around for a long time [3] More...
