Abstract

The concept and properties of the basic code block are extended to a generalized code region whose control flow graph can be entered at only one node and exited at only one node. Algorithms are given for the determination of all such regions in a program and the associated data flow information. Also, some applications of these regions to global optimization and code motion are discussed.
