- Subject: Intermodule constant propagation
We would like to add several interprocedural optimizations to gcc, starting
with constant propagation.
We are thinking of implementing a flow insensitive form of the
interprocedural
constant propagation algorithm described in [1][2], based on the new
intermodule code (http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-05/msg01665.html).
We would appreciate any feedback regarding gcc interprocedural
optimizations
(work done or in development, potential problems etc).
