Abstract

The IRn programming environment pays systematic attention to the problems entailed in developing, debugging, and optimizing large programs. This paper reviews the principal mechanisms provided by IRn to support large programs. It describes the structure used to represent large programs and the tools that manipulate this structure. It also explores the way that the IRn compiling system handles whole programs: performing interprocedural analysis, removing redundant modules, and generating customized procedure linkages.
