Abstract
In this chapter we present a general framework for assignment motion based program transformations that covers all the applications considered in Chapter 6: PDCE, PFCE, PRAE and UPRE. Within this framework the interleaving of admissible assignment motions and eliminations can be investigated in a general setting. Section 7.1 presents the foundation for this framework. The instances of the framework, motion-elimination couples, combine assignment motions with eliminations. As the presence of second order effects requires to apply the component transformations repeatedly, this process raises the following questions of primary interest:
-
Is the process confluent, i. e. is the final result independent from the application order? Section 7.2 is devoted to this question.
-
What are the additional costs (compared to the elementary transformations) in terms of computational complexity? This question is addressed in Section 7.3.
Section 7.4 finally considers UPRE as a more ambitious application for reasoning within the framework.
