The International Workshop on Compiler Construction provides a forum for thepresentation and discussion of recent developments in the area of compiler construction. Its scope ranges from compilation methods and tools to implementation techniques for specific requirements of languages and target architectures. This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 4th International Workshop on Compiler Construction, CC '92, held in Paderborn, Germany, October 5-7, 1992. The papers present recent developments on such topics as structural and semantic analysis, code generation and optimization, and compilation for parallel architectures and for functional, logical, and application languages.
