The language EM is an intermediate language for use in compiler
|
|
|
|
|
construction.
|
|
|
|
|
In this paper we describe the construction of a so-called fast backend
|
|
|
|
|
which translates EM code to assembler for SPARC processors.

Our construction deviates strongly from the usual procedure. We have
|
|
|
|
|
devised and implemented a virtual stack with which it is possible to
|
|
|
|
|
generate very acceptable code without much loss in compile time.
