Code generation and optimization using a machine description table and attributes
Raman Tenneti · 1986
Machine description tables and attr ibutes are used to specify translations from a n intermediate representation (G-code) t o a target code representat ion of programs (for a functional programming language like LML). Code generators were obtained for target machines VAX 11/780, INTEL 286/310 and MOTOROLA 68000 using machine description tables and attributes. A compiler built on this model can automatically perform some machine dependent optimizations.
