NDLI: A general-purpose table-driven compiler

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Warshall, Stephen Shapiro, Robert M.
Abstract	If a compiler is to generate efficient object code, there are several different kinds of optimization which should take place. Each of these optimization procedures has a preferred domain: that is, some algorithms prefer to operate over the input string, others over the tree which describes the syntax of the string, others over the "macro-instructions" which are generated from the tree, and so forth. In an earlier paper, one of the present authors pointed out the necessity for employing the tree form in particular as a natural domain for optimizers which consider syntactic context and suggested that, just as Irons and others had built general-purpose table-driven parsing algorithms, one could also build a general-purpose table-driven program for getting from trees to macro-instructions. The final compiler design presented here is the result of pursuing that kind of thinking somewhat farther.
