I have become interested in RISC machines lately and would like to learn more about the compiler side of the story. Thanks in advance. [There are several standard compilers texts such as Aho, Sethi, and Ullman's "Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools." Optimization moves fast enough that most material is found in articles and conference proceedings. If someone can point out a book that has a more recent treatment of optimization than A, S, & U, I'd like to hear about it. -John] -- Send compilers articles to compilers@esegue.segue.boston.ma.us {ima | spdcc | world}!esegue.
