Code Generation

Exercises

1. Discuss a good strategy for computing stack limits for ESJ methods.
2. Show an appropriate code template for a for loop.
3. There are lots of different ways to implement different operations. In the lecture notes, we show a template for !E on slide 28 implemented using jumps. Define a template that uses the fact that boolean values are represented as 0 and 1 and converts between them by evaluation 1-E. Modify the SJC code-generator to see how it works.
