Hi all, With the range of optimisation passes that are currently part of GCC (and in modern optimising compilers in general), what would you regard as the greatest developments in compiler optimisation technology over the past ten years?
Do you think that is it the development of intermediate forms such as SSA which has enabled a greater range of optimisations, or are there any specific optimisations that stand out as major developments? Any thoughts much appreciated (apologies if this is a bit abstract/off-topic), Tom -- Tom Crick Mathematical Foundations Group Department of Computer Science University of Bath [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/tom/
