Abstract

A compiling apparatus has a front end for providing intermediate representations according to a source program; an optimizing unit for optimizing the intermediate representations; an intermediate representation changing unit for changing the optimized intermediate representations; and a code output unit for providing code according to the lastly obtained intermediate representations. The compiling apparatus further has an optimizing structure determination unit for determining the number of repetitions of an optimization phase achieved by the optimizing unit and intermediate representation changing unit and selecting optimization functions carried out in each of the optimization phases. The intermediate representations are changed and optimized in each optimization phase according to the determination by the optimizing structure determination unit.
