main: <code for a>
LOAD reg2,[name2]
CALL-FUNCTION 2,[name1]
name1: CALL-FUNCTION 0,reg2
name2: <code for b>
LOAD reg2,[name4]
CALL-FUNCTION 2.[name3]
name3: CALL-FUNCTION 0,reg2
name4: <code for c>
RETURN
Turning general function calls into direct GO's, on the basis of analysts of what variables must refer to constant functions:
main: <code for a>
LOAD reg2,[name2]
GOTO name1
name1: GOTO name2
name2: <code for b>
LOAD reg2,[name4]
GOTO name1
name3: GOTO name4
name4: <code for c>
RETURN
Eliminating useless GOTO and LOAD instructions:
main: <code for a>
name1:
name2: <code for b>
name3:
name4: <code for c>
RETURN
What more could one ask for?
Notice that this has fallen out of a general strategy involving only an approach to compiling function calls, and has involved no special knowledge of OR
