Automating the selection of code templates
R. Nigel Horspool, André. Scheunemann · Software Practice and Experience · 1985
Abstract A new methodology for code generation in compilers is advanced. The underlying principle is a simple one—that machine memory resources must be matched to intermediate code values. It is possible to view the methodology as a generalization of the Graham‐Glanville approach, but where there is a wider‐ranging search for the best code sequences. This new approach has been implemented for the IBM/370, the VAX‐11 and the Intel 8086 instruction sets.
