Abstract

Compilers that perform interprocedural analysis require different user interfaces and different internal architectures than those used by compilers that process procedures independently. CONVEX Computer Corp. has developed a language-independent interprocedural optimizer that is packaged together with FORTRAN and C compilers in a product called the Application Compiler. User feedback and experience compiling large applications had a significant impact on the final user interface and system architecture.
