>I'm looking for a standardized (file-)format for in/output of flow-graphs.


You might check out the work on IDL (Interface Description Language).
The basic paper is


    title="{IDL}: Sharing Intermediate Representations",
    author="David Alex Lamb",
    pages="297--318",
    journal=toplas,
    year=1987,
    month=jul,
    volume=9,
    number=3


You'll also want to look at


Sigplan Notices 22(11), Novmber 1987


which is a special issue devoted to IDL.


There are also a couple of books on the idea, one by Richard Snodgrass
and one by (I believe) John Nestor. Snodgrass also has a system,
Scorpion, that was once available via anonymous ftp from the
University of Arizona. Additionally, I believe Sun Labs has announced
a similar system, also available for anonymous ftp. Unfortunately, I
don't have a record of the adresses, but perhaps others will post the
necessary pointers.
