Renaud Marlet 
Program Specialization 

This book presents the principles and techniques of program
specialization — a general method to make programs faster
(and possibly smaller) when some inputs can be known in advance. As
an illustration, it describes the architecture of Tempo, an offline
program specializer for C that can also specialize code at runtime,
and provides figures for concrete applications in various domains.
Technical details address issues related to program analysis
precision, value reification, incomplete program specialization,
strategies to exploit specialized program, incremental
specialization, and data specialization. The book, that targets
both researchers and software engineers, also opens scientific and
industrial perspectives.
