lcc's code generators use tree pattern matching, and they are produced
by an lcc-specific variant of iburg. The details are in our book
`A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation,' which will be
published this Dec. by Benjamin/Cummings (ISBN 0-8053-1670-1).
See http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc for more info about lcc.
