Is anyone aware of any existing libraries/API's which do optimization
on a well-defined, documented, retargetable intermediate language?


So, for example, a library that allows you to pass in (say) the root
node of an expression tree, and performs specified optimizations on
that tree, outputting an optimized syntax tree in the same
intermediate language...


I realize that open-source compilers of course have optimizing code,
but I'm wondering how modular this code is (ie. how easily it can be
stripped out and used in isolation)....




Or am I missing something? I'm new to compilers and what I wan't may
be impossible/impractical.


thanks
Peter
