The design and construction of a peephole optimizer is described. The optimizer consists of a database of patterns, a translator that translates the patterns into an implementation language, and a pattern‐matcher skeleton into which the generated pattern code is inserted. it is argued that this three‐part split is a good way to approach the construction of certain kinds of programs.
