The control and data flow of a program can be represented using
continuations, a concept from denotational semantics that has
practical application in real compilers. This book shows how
continuation-passing style is used as an intermediate
representation on which to perform optimisations and program
transformations. Continuations can be used to compile most
programming languages. The method is illustrated in a compiler for
the programming language Standard ML. However, prior knowledge of
ML is not necessary, as the author carefully explains each concept
as it arises. This is the first book to show how concepts from the
theory of programming languages can be applied to the producton of
practical optimising compilers for modern languages like ML. This
book will be essential reading for compiler writers in both
industry and academe, as well as for students and researchers in
programming language theory.
