Abstract
A system and method to reduce the size of source code in a processing system are described. Multiple subgraph structures are identified within a graph structure constructed for multiple source code instructions in a program. Unifiable variables that are not simultaneously used in the source code instructions are identified within each subgraph structure. Finally, one or more unifiable instructions from a tine of a corresponding subgraph structure are transferred to a handle of the corresponding subgraph structure, each unifiable instruction containing one or more unifiable variables.
