Question 1

What is the primary goal of local optimizations?

  • Enhance overall performance
  • Reduce code size
  • Improve individual basic blocks

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what local means in this context.

Question 2

True or False: Copy Propagation eliminates the need for CSE.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how they work together.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze the following block of code and identify potential CSE opportunities:
1. a = 5
2. b = a + 2
3. c = 5 + 2
4. d = a + 2
5. e = c + d

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look for repeated expressions involving 'a'.

Question 2

Take this code sequence that involves unnecessary copies and suggest how copy propagation could help:
1. x = 4
2. y = x
3. z = y + 1
4. x = 10
5. a = x + y

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how replacing 'y' with 'x' can simplify your computations.
