Is this a recent decision? A colleague of mine went on the "Code
Optimization" course at Stanford this summer, and there it was stated that
the book (or at least chapters from it) was with its reviewers. Chapters
of it were even referenced from the course notes!


It is a great pity if the book is being withdrawn, as there is a distinct
absence of text books on optimization in "modern" compilers (Red Dragon is
okay as far as it goes, but it is rather dated).
