Summary: | The current trend in embedded systems design is to move the initial
design and exploration phase to a higher level of abstraction, in order to tackle
the rapidly increasing complexity of embedded systems. One approach of
abstracting software development from the low level platform details is host-
compiled simulation. Characteristics of the target platform are represented in
a host-compiled simulation model by annotating the high level source code.
Compiler optimizations make accurate annotation of the code a challenging
task. In this thesis, we describe an approach to enable correct back-annotation
of C code at the basic block level, while taking compiler optimizations into
account. === text
