Research on Code Reduction
Yang Xian · 2006
Code-size reduction is now a hot and active research activity in such areas as networking,embedded system, and mobile computing.This is because the reduced-size code can improve the system performance without increasing the total system costs.In this paper,we firstly give an introduction of the motivation,concept,and two main strategies of code-size reduction.We then concentrate on code compaction technique,presenting various methods of code compaction, and summarizing their features and key techniques.Finally,we discuss the shortages of the existent compaction meth- ods,with a prospect about the future work.
