Abstract
This paper describes the FlexCC2 register allocation framework. FlexCC2 is an optimizing retargetable C compiler for embedded processors, and in particular for DSP processors. Embedded processors
often contain features such as irregular and constrained register sets that complicate register allocation, making traditional methods inefficient. In this paper, we present a register allocation framework specifically tailored for embedded processor specificities. This framework has been integrated
in the FlexCC2 production compiler and is used by FlexCC2 customers. |
