Register Transfer Language
(RTL) 1. A kind of {hardware description language} (HDL) used
in describing the {register}s of a computer or digital
electronic system, and the way in which data is transferred
between them.
2. An intermediate code for a machine with an infinite number
of {register}s, used for machine-independent optimisation.
RTL was developed by Chris Fraser and
J. Davidson at the {University of Arizona}
in the early 1980s. RTL is used by the {GNU} C compiler,
{gcc} and by Davidson's {VPCC} (Very Portable C compiler).
