Title: Implementation of Special Data Type in Compiler
Abstract: Special purpose processors,such as DSPs,can only support limited data types in their instruction sets because they are suitable to specific applications.In programs written in high-level language,if special data types which can not be supported by target processor are used,compiler must translate such statements into instructions supported by target processor while keeping original semantic.One method is presented to deal with specail data types in a VLIW DSP compiler,including code annotation of intermediate representations containing special data types,data flow and scheduling dependency computation,and register allocation improvement.To realize the method,only little modification of compiler is needed,and the method is efficient.
