[comp.compilers] Procedure inlining at the source level

yueh@unc.cs.unc.edu (Alan Yueh) (06/08/89)

I am looking for papers/technical reports/general pointers about the subject
of procedure inlining (also called integration, open compilation, open coding,
etc.) at the source level, and criteria for inlining that produce good
optimizations.

I have found a few papers (old) on the subject, but most are either very
sketchy or are written on the intermediate language transformation level.

I am interested in source-to-source transformations. If anyone has recent
papers on source-to-source transforms (implementation discussion) or recent
analyses of criteria for when to inline, please email.

Apologies if this raises a recent issue; I've just joined this newsgroup.

Thanks, Alan W. Yueh
