Note on semantics and optimization

Abstract

When can an optimizing compiler reorder the evaluation of parts of an expression? Should the definition of a language permit reordering? A common micsonception about the relation between semantics and optimization is analyzed in two contexts: numerical programming in procedural languages and nonnumerical programming in very high level languages. © 1974, ACM.
