Abstract

Generating a description of compiler code selector rules from an architecture description. A method comprises accessing a target architecture model written in an architecture description language (ADL) and extracting semantic information therefrom to generate a plurality of semantic statements. Rules that map from source code operations to semantic patterns are accessed. The semantic statements are searched for matches for the semantic patterns to generate mappings that serve as a description of compiler code selector rules.
