Optimization of the compiling of subscripted array references
Irving B. Elliott · ACM SIGPLAN Notices · 1978
A method is described for compiling higher-order-language references to array elements into optimum in-line executable code. Optimization is achieved by resolving parts of the required subscripting calculation, e.g., those which involve constant values, at compile time instead of at run time. The method is applicable to references for arrays of any number of dimensions.
