Where are the internals of IBM's PL.8 compiler documented? I'm particularly interested in their Inetrmediate Language (IL) and the transformations made on it. Thanks -- Gideon Yuval, gideony@microsof.UUCP, 206-882-8080 (fax:206-883-8101;TWX:160520)

Hopkins >An overview of the PL.8 compiler >Proc SIGPLAN'82 Symp on Compiler Construction June 1982 >Rajeev Chandrasekhar This is the best general reference I know of. Some more obscure and specific references are: J. Cocke and P. Markstein Measurement of program improvement algorithms IFIP 1980 V. Markstein, J. Cocke, and P. Markstein Optimization of range checking SIGPLAN '82 R. Bernstein Producing good code for the case statement Software -- Practice and Experience October 1985 R. Bernstein Multiplication by integer constants SP & E July 1986 Additionally, there are the graph coloring papers. I know of three: Chaitin, Auslander, Chandra, Cocke, Hopkins, Markstein Register allocation via coloring Computer Languages 6 (1981) Chaitin Register allocation and spilling via graph coloring SIGPLAN 82 Bernstein, Golumbic, Mansour, Pinter, Goldin, Krawczyk, and Nahshon Spill code minimization techniques for optimizing compilers SIGPLAN 89 Does anyone know of anymore PL.8 papers (outside of IBM confidential)? I'd like to hear about them. Thanks, Preston Briggs
