Hmm, I just did the code generation talk of our compiler course in an
hour. It consists of three parts:


code selection (tree grammars and tree pattern matching)
instruction scheduling (data dependence graph, list scheduling)
register allocation (live ranges, interference graph, graph colouring)


Maybe the code selection part was too concise, but I think I did fine
on scheduling and register allocation. Of course, a lot of things have
been explained earlier (intermediate representation etc).
