- Additional information
- This paper is significant because it presents a completely new optimising backend for the CakeML verified compiler, combining register allocation and garbage collection. The scope is wide, supporting provably correct generation of x86-64, ARM, MIPS, and RISC V machine code. This paper was invited to a special issue of the Journal of Functional Programming marking it as one of the best papers in ICFP 2016.
