CS304: Compilers

Read Chapters 9 and 10. Chapter 9 overlaps the above reading, and is a supplementary discussion of the problem of mapping a large number of variables used in an intermediate language translation into a smaller number of registers, plus memory locations available on the target machine. Chapter 10 covers function calls using a stack, activation records, and frame pointers. Look over these chapters and read the parts that will add to your understanding of register allocation and function calls.
