Instruction selectionNOTOC In computer science, instruction selection is the stage of a compiler backend that transforms its middle-level intermediate representation (IR) into a low-level IR. In a typical compiler, instruction selection precedes both instruction scheduling and register allocation; hence its output IR has an infinite set of pseudo-registers (often known as temporaries) and may still be – and typically is – subject to peephole optimization. Otherwise, it closely resembles the target machine code, bytecode, or assembly language.
One-pass compilerIn computer programming, a one-pass compiler is a compiler that passes through the parts of each compilation unit only once, immediately translating each part into its final machine code. This is in contrast to a multi-pass compiler which converts the program into one or more intermediate representations in steps between source code and machine code, and which reprocesses the entire compilation unit in each sequential pass. This refers to the logical functioning of the compiler, not to the actual reading of the source file once only.
Portage informatiqueLe portage informatique consiste à porter, c'est-à-dire mettre en œuvre, un logiciel, une fonctionnalité, voire un système d'exploitation dans un autre environnement que celui d'origine. Cet environnement est donc soit logiciel, soit matériel. La portabilité d'un code source est sa qualité d'être aisément porté. Le portage informatique revient souvent à reprendre le code source du composant existant dans son environnement initial, puis à lui apporter les modifications nécessaires pour qu'il puisse fonctionner sur la plate-forme de destination.
Interprocedural optimizationInterprocedural optimization (IPO) is a collection of compiler techniques used in computer programming to improve performance in programs containing many frequently used functions of small or medium length. IPO differs from other compiler optimizations by analyzing the entire program as opposed to a single function or block of code. IPO seeks to reduce or eliminate duplicate calculations and inefficient use of memory and to simplify iterative sequences such as loops.
