SSA-based Compiler Design

This book provides readers with a single-source reference to static-single assignment(SSA)-based compiler design. It is the first (and up to now only) book that coversin a deep and comprehensive way how an optimizing compiler can be designed usingthe SSA form. After introducing vanilla SSA and its main properties, the authorsdescribe several compiler analyses and optimizations under this form. They illustratehow compiler design can be made simpler and more efficient, thanks to the SSA form.This book also serves as a valuable text/reference for lecturers, making the teaching ofcompilers simpler and more effective. Coverage also includes advanced topics, such ascode generation, aliasing, predication and more, making this book a valuable referencefor advanced students and practicing engineers.
