The Simple-SUIF Library

The Simple-SUIF interface is designed for implementing back-end optimizations. To reduce the complexity, much of the information in a SUIF file is hidden behind this interface. This means that, although the Simple-SUIF interface could not be used to build a complete code generator, it is quite small and easy to use. There are two include files that define the Simple SUIF data structures and instruction opcodes. The simple.h file contains declarations for all of the data structures described in this section. The simple_ops.def file contains a list of the instruction opcodes and their formats.

• Types: How types are represented in Simple-SUIF.
• Symbols: Kinds of symbols and their representations.
• Registers: Registers and conventions for using them.
• Immediate Values: Immediate values for ldc instructions.
• Instructions: Descriptions of the Simple-SUIF instructions.
