- wglb 2y agoI have a copy of his paper at U of W titled "A Code Synthesis filter for basic block optimization" 72-3-01. The code behind the paper was written in XPL.
- wglb 2y agoFurther, his work in that area is referenced in other compiler-related books such as Flow Analysis of Computer Programs by Matthew S. Hect.

EDIT: referenced paper is here: https://haoxintu.github.io/files/1-A%20Unified%20Approach%20to%20Global%20Program%20Optimization.pdf https://haoxintu.github.io/files/1-A%20Unified%20Approach%20...
