	Three address code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer science, three address code is a form of representing intermediate code used by compilers to aid in the implementation of code-improving transformations.
		The key features of three address code are that every instruction implements exactly one fundamental operation, and that the source and destination may refer to any available register.
		A refinement of three address code is Static single assignment form.

	Compiler construction:Code generation - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		Code generation occurs after semantic analysis is done, which gives us enough information to generate more primitive concrete code.
		The general idea behind code generation is decompose the tree structure of the syntax tree into a sequence of instructions, whatever an instruction set is. In this stage, since we are done with the semantic program, we are not interested in syntaical and semantical structure of programs but in the order of executions of instructions.
		The three address code, as the name suggests, consist of three address and opcode, which tells what kind of operation is meant to be done.

		Intermediate code generation Intermediate code is often generated first to decompose and simplify the code generation task, and to provide opportunities for target machine-independent code optimisation, before generation of target machine code and target machine optimisation.
		Code for handlling procedures and parameters is simpler for P-code than for three-address code.
		Basic code generation 2.1 Code generation as synthesized attribute computation Intermediate code may be defined as a synthesized attribute of nodes in the structure tree (syntax tree).

	Compiler construction: Stack-based representation - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		The basic idea is that when we interpret the code, we know both where we are and how tall the stack is. So by pretending as if we were evaluating the code, we can calculate the height of the stack for each position.
		Coding the above solution may be tedious in practice, especially when a number of instructions in the language is large.
		Write a stack-based code such that the height of the stack at each position cannot be determined at a compiler time.

		Addressing Modes The operands A, B, and R all have one of the addressing modes “constant”, “global”, or “local”.
		The “constant” addressing mode means the operand is in the constants table with the specified offset from element 0 of the table.
		The call instruction uses the R operand for the address of the subprogram and the A operand for the number of parameters; the mode for the R operand is ignored.

	Notes on Translating Three-Address Code to Assembly Code for the X86
		Generating code for it involves understanding the instruction set as well as the syntax of the assembler used to take ascii assembly language code and produce machine code object files (in our case, /usr/bin/as is the GNU Assembler).
		X86 architecture does not have super strict alignment requirements on memory access, but accessing 16- or 32-bit values at addresses other than multiples of 2 and 4 bytes is much slower than normal, so aligning variables at appropriate multiples of their size is recommended.
		The X86 is a fairly traditional architecture with a relatively small number of registers; the 80386 had 8 general purpose registers, of which four are usually used for numeric values (%eax, %ebx, %ecx, %edx) and four for stack and pointer values (%ebp, %esp, %esi, %edi).

	Notes on Translating Three-Address Code to Assembly Code for the SPARC
		Generating code for it involves understanding the instruction set as well as the syntax of the Sun assembler used to take ascii assembly language code and produce machine code object files.
		Be careful with negative offsets, since the memory addressed still refers to bytes extending in a positive direction from the byte referenced.
		Code and data can be intermixed, by switching segments back and forth.

	Code Generation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The act of generating optimal code is undecidable, so any code generator must make good guesses as to what code to generate.
		At this point, we are assuming the three-address code (TAC) is correct insofar as it represents the original source code.
		The simplest and probably least efficient method to produce machine code is for every three-address code statement to load the operands into registers, perform the computation and write the result back into memory.

	Intermediate Representations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Good IR is easy to translate into from the target language during the semantic analysis phase, convenient to translate into code for the target machine architecture (relatively speaking) and each construct in the IR should have a simple to understand meaning to allow for easier manipulation by the code optimizer.
		Three-address code (TAC) is a form of IR for a mythical or ``virtual'' machine.
		Complicated expressions are represented by a sequence of TAC statements.

		Exercise: Extend the grammar to include boolean operators and extend either code generation procedure to generate code for the extended language (using short circuit evaluation).
		Call instruction The four bracketing instructions depend on the number, size and location of the parameters (stack or registers), the size of the stack frame, the size of the local variable and temporary value space, the size and organisation of the bookkeeping information.
		In particular, it is necessary to pass and save the return address (which follows the call instruction) and to push a new frame onto the stack (updating the frame and stack pointers).

		A little note about the temporary variables: whenever we put a variable on the stack, we need to have a copy of it: we can't just push the variable's index in the string table, because its value might change and then the value on the stack would also change.

		Machine Independent Languages The front part of the compiler usually translates the source code program into an intermediate language representation, which after that is converted into a machine code for the concrete target computer.
		Using an intermediate language representation entails two properties: - the compiler becomes retargetable and can be ported easily, with a little effort to another computer; - the compiler becomes optimizable and can be considerably improved.
		Three-Address Code Three-address code is a sequence of statements of the general form: x := y op z where: x,y,z are names, constants or compiler-generated temporaries, op stands for an operator, such as a fixed or floating-point arithmetic operator, or a logical operator on a boolean data.
