Issues in Compiling

Gerhard Goos (Fakultät für Informatik, Universität Karlsruhe, Germany)

Abstract: We consider the state of the art in compiler construction and where to go from here. Main topics are improved exploitation of present (and future) hardware features, the interaction between compiling techniques and processor design, and the use of compiling techniques in application areas such as component-based software engineering and software reengineering.

Keywords: compilers, program synthesis, program transformation, reusable software, software/program verification
