DESCRIPTION:Dataflow analysis and transformation of control-flow graphs is
  pervasive in optimizing compilers\, but it is typically tightly interwove
 n with the details of a particular compiler. In this talk I'll describe Ho
 opl a reusable Haskell library that makes it unusually easy to define new 
 analyses and transformations for *any* compiler. Hoopl's interface is modu
 lar and polymorphic\, and it offers unusually strong static guarantees. Th
 e implementation is also far from routine: it encapsulates state-of-the-ar
 t algorithms (interleaved analysis and rewriting\, dynamic error isolation
 )\, and it cleanly separates their tricky elements so that they can be und
 erstood independently.\n\nBreaking with the Semantics Lunch tradition\, th
 e talk has lots of code and no Greek.
