Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building an Optimizing Compiler provides a high-level design for a thorough optimizer, code generator, scheduler, and register allocator for a generic modern RISC processor. In the process it addresses the small issues that have a large impact on the implementation. The book approaches this subject from a practical viewpoint. Theory is introduced where intuitive arguments are insufficient; however, the theory is described in practical terms. Building an Optimizing Compiler provides a complete theory for static single assignment methods and partial redundancy methods for code optimization. It also provides a new generalization of register allocation techniques. A single running example is used throughout the book to illustrate the compilation process.
