  • Although the Java bytecode has numerous advantages, there are also shortcomings such as slow execution speed and difficulty in analysis. Therefore, in order for the Java class file to be effectively executed under the execution environment such as the network, it is necessary to convert it into optimized code. We implemented CTOC for transforming to optimized code. In Optimization, SSA Form that distinguish variable by assignment is used to determine value and type statically. Copy propagation, dead code elimination optimization is applied to SSA Form. However, existing SSA Form is related to variable than expression. Therefore, in this paper, to performing optimization to SSA Form expression, after performing copy propagation and dead code elimination, in addition to that, partial redundant expression elimination is performed

  • Although the Java bytecode has numerous advantages, there are also shortcomings such as slow execution speed and difficulty in analysis. Therefore, in order for the Java class file to be effectively executed under the execution environment such as the network, it is necessary to convert it into optimized code. We implements CTOC. In order to statically determine the value and type, CTOC uses the SSA Form which separates the variable according to assignment. Also, it uses a Tree Form for statements. But, due to insertion of the $\phi$-function in the process of conversion into the SSA Form, the number of nodes increased. This paper shows the dead code elimination to obtain a more optimized code in SSA Form. We add new live field in each node and achieve dead code elimination in tree structures. We can confirm after dead code elimination though test results that nodes decreases.

  • We describe a technique for automatically proving compiler optimizations sound, meaning that their transformations are always semantics-preserving. As is well known, IR (Intermediate Representation) optimization is an important step in a compiler backend. But unfortunately, it is difficult to detect and debug the IR optimization errors for compiler developers. So, we introduce a C level error check system for detecting the correctness of these IR transformation techniques. In our system, we first create an IR-to-C converter to translate IR to C code before and after each compiler optimization phase, respectively, since our technique is based on the Memory Comparison-based Clone(MeCC) detector which is a tool of detecting semantic equivalency in C level. MeCC accepts only C codes as its input and it uses a path-sensitive semantic-based static analyzer to estimate the memory states at exit point of each procedure, and compares memory states to determine whether the procedures are equal or not. But MeCC cannot guarantee two semantic-equivalency codes always have 100% similarity or two codes with different semantics does not get the result of 100% similarity. To increase the reliability of the results, we describe a technique which comprises how to generate C codes in IR-to-C transformation phase and how to send the optimization information to MeCC to avoid the occurrence of these unexpected problems. Our methodology is illustrated by three familiar optimizations, dead code elimination, instruction scheduling and common sub-expression elimination and our experimental results show that the C level error check system is highly reliable.
