William Clodius points out:
"...most optimizations are performed in the language-independent
backends. ... Strong typing in any language helps with optimization,
and both C and Ada ... have strong typing."
1. C has strong typing? The language where type conversions between
float, integer, and boolean often occur without the programmer's
knowledge?
2. If "optimizations are performed in the language-independent
backend," how can strong typing, or any other feature of Ada
make optimization easier? Is the omitted word "most" the answer?
