Abstract :
This paper describes an experimental prototype of a code generation tool for embedded special-purpose processors. The tool is a retargetable assembly-code-level macro expander capable of program flow analysis. The main advantage of the tool is its strong support for macro hierarchy: hierarchical macro libraries make the code (produced either by the compiler writer or by the assembly language programmer) more modular
