Abstract

In Chap. 6 we have shown how to translate the body of a single function. Function calls and returns were left (mostly) untranslated by using the CALL and RETURN instructions in the intermediate code. Nor did we in Chap. 7 show how these instructions should be translated.

Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function.

Garrison Keillor (1942–)
