Consider the following ANSI C code segment:

z = x + 3 + y -> f1 + y -> f2;

for (i = 0; i < 200; i = i + 2){

if (z > i) {

P = p + x + 3;

q = q + y -> f2;

} else {

p = p + y -> f2;

q = q + x + 3;

}

}

Assume that the variable y points to a struct (allocated on the heap) containing two fields f1 and f2, and the local variables x, y, z, p, g, and i are allotted registers. Common sub-expression elimination (CSE) optimization is applied on the code. The number of addition and dereference operations (of the form y -> f1 or y -> f2 ) in the optimized code, respectively, are:  

A
203 and 2
B
403 and 102
C
303 and 102
D
303 and 2

For a statement S in a program, in the context of liveness analysis, the following sets are defined:

USE(S): the set of variables used in S

IN(S): the set of variables that are live at the entry of S

OUT(S): the set of variables that are live at the exit of S

Consider a basic block that consists of two statements, S1 followed by S2.

Which one of the following statements is correct?

A
OUT(S1) = USE(S1) ∪ IN(S2)
B
OUT(S1) = IN(S2)
C
OUT(S1) = IN(S1) ∪ USE(S1)
D
OUT(S1) = IN(S2) ∪ USE(S2)

A variable x is said to be live at a statement $${S_i}$$ in a programif the following three conditions hold simultaneously:

i. There exists a statement $${S_j}$$ that uses x
ii. There is a path from $${S_i}$$ to $${S_j}$$ in the flow graph corresponding to the program
iii. The path has no intervening assignment to x including at $${S_i}$$ and $${S_j}$$
