I read with great interest the article by Michael Karr at the SIGPLAN '84 symposium on compiler construction. To me the method proposed seemed like a breakthrough in the efficiency of output produced by code generators. (This is important, e.g., in the domain of embedded systems where we are working.) BUT: the article did not contain any implementation experiences or comparisons with other methods. My question is: Has anybody used code generation by coagulation in real life? Is it available in some compiler? Are tools related to it available? How does it compare to other state-of-the-art approaches?
