Abstract
Selection of the proper interface between code generation and the analysis steps which preceed it is an engineering decision which balances two properties of the compilation:
-
a.
Most of the structure of the program is determined solely by the source language.
-
b.
Most of the representational details are determined solely by the target machine.
