Branch Distance Optimization of Structured Programs

One of the functions of code generation (or peephole optimization of generated code) is to find a linear arrangement of code segments such that the sum of branch distances between code segments is minimized. The problem is a generalization of the optimal linear arrangement problem which is known to...
