Today, much attention is paid to the research and development of application-specific instruction set processors (ASIPs). The architecture of such processors is focused on their application and the command systems differ from each other, therefore each architecture requires its own set of developer tools like a compiler, debugger, linker, etc. The program code optimization for each ASIP also has its own specifics. At the same time, compiler development should be as fast and technologically advanced as possible in ...

Today retargetable and cross-platform compilers are mainstream, because variety of hardware platforms is very large, and it is required to support general-purpose programming languages for these platforms. But retargetable compiler development process has very high cost. The main criterion is development time (develop, debug and maintain time, high entrance level). Some of the most popular solutions on the market of these compilers are GCC, LLVM. Each of them contains (in implementation) platform-specific code lik...
