Or do you mean something else here?
You're right, that case can be handled, but the for loops and the
left-hand side revisions remain.
Sorry, callee revisions.
Depending on how you generate code, you can do a lot in one pass, but
the for loops require reorder buffers, and using too slow a target
machine just to get one pass compile can lose if the code is hot.
But the point remains: the language never had single-pass no-reorder
codegen, in 1995 from its birth onward.
