Retargetable Intermediate Code Optimization System Using Tree Pattern Matching Techniques
Jeong-Suk Kim, O Se-Man · The Transactions of the Korea Information Processing Society · 1999
ACK generates optimized code using the string pattern matching technique in pattern table generator and peephole optimizer. But string pattern matching method is not effective due to the many comparative actions in pattern selection. We designed and implemented the EM intermediate code optimizer using tree pattern matching algorithm composed of EM tree generator, optimization pattern table generator and tree pattern matcher. Tree pattern matching algorithm practices the pattern matching that centering around root node with refer to the pattern table, with traversing the EM tree by top-down method. As a result, compare to ACK string pattern matching methods, we found that the optimized code effected to pattern selection time, and contributed to improved the pattern selection time by about 10.8%.
