BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CSL-TR-84-256 ENTRY:: November 08, 1994 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Computer Systems Laboratory TITLE:: INSTRUCTION SELECTION BY ATTRIBUTED PARSING TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Ganapathi, Mahadevan AUTHOR:: Fischer, Charles N. DATE:: February 1984 PAGES:: 32 ABSTRACT:: Affix grammars are used to describe the instruction-set of a target architecture for purposes of compiler code generation. A code generator is obtained automatically for a compiler using attributed parsing techniques. A compiler built on this model can automatically perform most popular machine-dependent optimizations, including peephole optimizations. Implementations of code generators based on this model exist for the VAX-11, iAPX-86, Z-8000, PDP-ll and IBM-370 architectures. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19941108] END:: STAN//CSL-TR-84-256
