- This is a request for references.
-
- I'm undertaking a master's thesis with a goal of compiling an object-
- oriented language and generating RISC code. From previous course work, I
- have a compiler that adequately handles the more traditional issues, and a
- few of the simpler OO cases. The work to be done includes the write-up
- and implementation of the following:
-
- Multiple inheritance
- Polymorphism
- Persistence
- Specialization of methods
- RISC instruction sequencing
- Register windows
-
- Articles that define and discuss the use of OOP concepts haven't been hard
- to find. Now I'm looking for implementation details. References such as
- the Goldberg & Robson book, "Smalltalk-80: The Language and its
- Implementation," have provided some ideas. However, I'm trying to find
- more literature that is specific to compiled language, perhaps going into
- greater detail.
-
- I would also be interested in references on RISC code generation. By the
- way, besides Sparc, is there any (commercial) RISC processor that provides
- register windows?
-
- Help in these areas would be greatly appreciated.
