Abstract
Apparatus, methods and computer program products are disclosed for a high level language compiler that includes a binary re-optimization capability. This re-optimization capability inputs a binary executable and outputs a binary module optimized for a target computer system. The binary module can be linked to create an optimized binary executable. This capability is provided by adding a front end segment to the compiler that reads the binary executable and creates an intermediate representation of the binary executable. This intermediate representation is normalized to remove prior optimization artifacts and to virtualize register usage. The intermediate representation is then optimized for a target computer system resulting in a binary module that can be linked to make a binary executable that is optimized for the target computer.
