Extension Ssa [exclusive] «UPDATED»

| Problem | Recommended Extension | |--------|------------------------| | Better register allocation | SSI | | Precise array/pointer analysis | Array SSA / Memory SSA | | Path-sensitive constant propagation | Gated SSA | | Reducing φ-node overhead | Thin SSA | | Handling unstructured gotos | Irreducible SSA (ψ-functions) | Extension SSA represents the evolution of a foundational compiler technology. By adding sigma functions, gating predicates, or versioned memory, these enhanced forms preserve the advantages of classical SSA while addressing its blind spots. As compilers target increasingly complex languages and heterogeneous hardware, extension SSA will remain a vital tool for precise, efficient, and scalable program analysis.
