91 Compiler phases can choose whether they want to work on the earlier versions of the graph (e.g., escape analysis) or on later versions (e.g., null check elimination). |
2562 | 92 \cw{In general, I agree that the lowering should happen without changing the style of IR. However, I don't agree that optimizations such as null check elimination should work on a lower level graph. Isn't it bette to model ``needs null check'' as a capability of high-level instructions? Then the eliminator just sets a property that no null check is necessary. But that is a good discussion point: How much optimization do we want to do by augmenting a high-level IR, and how much do we want to do by rewriting a low-level IR.} |

98 Also, there is no dependency on a specific back-end, but the output of the compiler is a graph that can then be converted to a different representation in a final compiler phase. |
2562 | 99 \cw{Here we are getting into the nits of terminology. I think the term ``compiler'' should always refer to the whole system that goes from bytecodes to machine code. Yes, there will be additional parsers for different bytecode formats. But still, the compiler doesn't have graphs as input and outputs, but still bytecodes and machine code, respectively.} |

346 \item Nodes can only have data and control dependencies to nodes which belong to the same graph. |
2562 | 347 \item Control dependencies and data dependencies each represent a \emph{directed acyclic graph} (DAG) on the same set of nodes. This means that data dependencies always point upwards, and control dependencies always point downwards. Situations that are normally incur cycles (like loops) are represented by special nodes (like LoopEnd). |
348 \cw{I don't like that item. Cycles are a normal thing for control flow and for phi functions. I would phrase it as something like that: Nodes can only have data and control dependencies to nodes that are dominators. The only exception of that are control loop headers and phi functions} | |
349 \item Ordering between nodes is specified only to the extent which is required to correctly express the semantics of a given program. Some compilers (notably the HotSpot client compiler \cw{Wrong: the client compiler only has a fixed order of pinned instructions, most instructions are not pinned and can be moved around freely}) always maintain a complete order for all nodes (called \emph{scheduling}), which impedes advanced optimizations. For algorithms that require a fixed ordering of nodes, a temporary schedule can always be generated. | |

2562 | 516 \item All nodes should be able to immediately lower themselves to a machine-level representation. \cw{What is that? You mean every node has x86 specific code that spits out machine code? Hope you are joking...} This allows for easier compiler development, and also leads to a compiler that is very flexible in the amount of optimizations it performs (e.g. recompilation of methods with more aggressive optimizations). |
