In this chapter we present examples of code generated by the Version 1.8 compiler.

A.1. The Sieve of Eratosthenes

Compiler writers use the Sieve of Eratosthenes benchmark to check code quality and to compare run-time performance among compilers, languages and computers.

The benchmark uses the sieve method to compute the number of odd primes between 3 and 16383.

Example A-1. Source Code for Sieve


procedure Sieve (Result : out Integer) is
   Size : constant := 8190;
   k, Prime : Natural;
   Count : Integer;

   type Ftype is array (0 .. Size) of Boolean;
   Flags : Ftype;
begin
   for Iter in 1 .. 10 loop
      Count := 0;

      for i in 0 .. Size loop
         Flags (i) := True;
      end loop;

      for i in 0 .. Size loop
         if Flags (i) then
            Prime := i + i + 3;
            k := i + Prime;
            while k <= Size loop
               Flags (k) := False;
               k := k + Prime;
            end loop;
            Count := Count + 1;
         end if;
      end loop;
   end loop;

   Result := Count;
end Sieve;

The generated code is given in Example A-2. The code was generated at optimization level 2 with checks suppressed.
