Abstract

Traditionally, static program analysis has been used for offline program transformation i.e. an abstraction of the subject program semantics is used to determine which syntactic transformations are applicable. A classical example is binding-time analysis before partial evaluation [4],[5].

This work was supported in part by the european FP5 project IST-1999-20527 Daedalus.
