My tool, named "bbpart" is a DAG constructor for CFGnodes (that is:
basic blocks) that works for the SUIF2/Machine-SUIF 2 latest
distributions. It extracts DDGs (data-dependence graphs) which are
DAGs (for basic block scope) from SUIFvm IR (intermediate
representation). You can think of SUIFvm IR as a form of assembly for
a symbolic (virtual) machine.


You can the find two versions of the pass (it is a compiler pass for
Machine-SUIF, affectionately called MachSUIF) here:
