[net.lang] 1750A Assembly-language Optimizer Requested

dafoe@ssc-vax.UUCP (David F Dafoe) (07/06/85)

I am working with a TI (ANSI Microprocessor Pascal) compiler which 
produces (unoptimized) code for the MIL-STD-1750A processor.  For example,
statements involving four doubly-subscripted array elements can generate
39 1750A instructions.  Chances of having the compiler rewritten are dim.

The object code produced can be disassembled and run through a normal assembler.  
I am looking for an assembly-level (peephole) optimizer, which can
perform local optimizations directly on the assembly code.  Any insights,
hints, inventions or discoveries would be well appreciated.
