Abstract
The discussion started with some more questions on Chris Fraser’s talk: Robert Giegerich suggested specifying code selection using a description (in the spirit of the system proposed by Helmut Emmelmann in his presentation) to separate rules about the machine description from code transformation rules. A code generator description would perhaps be split into the following parts:
-
machine description
-
IL description
-
term rewriting rules
-
optimizations
Chris Fraser felt that this may lead to overly verbose descriptions, and in particular, the IL description should not be part of code generator description. It was agreed that this topic is still research.
