Code Generation
Program-Transformation.Org: The Program Transformation Wiki
Code generation (also called
instruction selection) is a
program transformation performed in the back-ends of compilers. At this state of compilation
intermediate representation? expressions are transformed into sequences of machine code instructions.
Code Generator Generators
- BURG: generate a CodeGenerator from a tree grammar that describes declaratively how IntermediateRepresentation? expression patterns can be mapped to machine instructions.
- GenWise Studio With GenWise Studio, a unique template-based IDE, you can generate a professional database-driven Asp.Net 2.0 web application within minutes.
