Hi

I would like to pose several questions on Interprocedural Analysis:

(1) How much further speed/space optimizations could be performed by
    having IA?
(2) The difficulty of doing IA and corresponding optimizations?
(2) IA's implication on data-flow data structures, and other data structures?
(3) Is IA incorporated by many/most compilers for both Imperative and
    LISP-like languages?

I would guess IA is a necessity for LISP-like language compilers, and optional
for Imperative ones.  What do you say?

Please respond by email.

Thanks.
