I've got a couple of papers that comp.compilers readers might find
interesting. The first is a paper by Larry Zurawski and me on debugging
optimized code. The second is a paper by Don Roberts and me on an
algorithm for telling whether a register allocator made a mistake.
Postscript versions of these papers are available by anonymous ftp from
st.cs.uiuc.edu, or by a mail-based archive server on the same machine.
The papers are in the files papers/debugging-opt-code.ps and
papers/Auditing-Reg-Alloc.ps.
To get the files by e-mail, send a message with a body that contains
path yourname@your.internet.address
send papers/debugging-opt-code.ps
send papers/Auditing-Reg-Alloc.ps
The "path" command is only needed if the server is not going to be able to
figure out a return address from the message that you send. On the other
hand, it is not very sophisticated, so if your return address is at all
non-standard then you should use it.
The "help" command provides a lot more documentation on the archive
server.

I posted a note yesterday advertising electronically available versions of
two papers related to compilers. Several people have noticed that the
address was not complete. I noticed that too, but our news system broke
just as I tried to post an additional message. Moreover, I have not
seen my original message, but it is clear that lots of other people have!
One of the papers is on debugging optimized code, and the other is on
a linear time algorithm for determining whether a register allocator
produces a correct allocation. The papers are available by anonymous
ftp from st.cs.uiuc.edu in /pub/papers, and also available by sending
mail to our archive server at archive-server@st.cs.uiuc.edu that says
path your-name@your-host.etc.domain
send papers/Auditing-Reg-Alloc.ps
send papers/debugging-opt-code.ps
The "path" command is only necessary if the archive server is not
going to be able to figure out your address from your message, but
it is not very sophisticated and so is easily confused. Both files
are Postscript.
