Phoenix is the code name for the software optimization and analysis framework that is the basis for all future Microsoft® compiler technologies. The Phoenix framework is an extensible system that can be adapted to read and write binaries and Microsoft Intermediate Language assemblies and represent the input files in an Intermediate Representation, which can be analyzed and manipulated by applications by using the Phoenix API. The code can then be written in binary or JITable form for execution.
