Abstract

A variant of PASCAL pseudo-code which is suitable for optimization is presented. This new language, Universal pseudo-code, is designed to be easily extended to meet the needs of a variety of target machines. The language is further designed such that only one optimizer need be written for it. This approach lends itself well to the portable software spirit of PASCAL. The problems and opportunities associated with optimization at this level are discussed.
