For what it's worth, I thought that I should mention that GCC actually
deals with two different internal representations of a program. There
is a high level representation (TREEs) and also the low-level representation
that you mentioned (i.e. RTL).
The high level representation is fairly machine independent, however it is
*not* something that you would want to try applying optimizations to.
(Well, at least GCC doesn't try to do that. Some people may say that
the high level tree representation would be a good thing to be munging
for certain "high level" optimizations. I won't argue that point either
way.)
