Abstract

We describe a retargetable compiler code generation system that has two distinguishing features. First, the system produces code generators from equational specifications. The equational notation directly supports the conceptually attractive view of code generation as term rewriting. Second, the system produces code generators that are very efficient. We discuss experimental evidence that indicates that code generators produced by our system run extremely fast. This experimental evidence includes direct comparisons to Davidson-Fraser code generators. Graham-Glanville code generators, and the Portable C compiler's code generator.
