SSA form is only eliminated once register allocation occurs, late in the compile process (often at link time). * The [[GNU Compiler Collection]] (GCC) makes extensive use of SSA since version 4 (released in April 2005). The [[front and back ends|frontends]] generate "[[GIMPLE#GENERIC and GIMPLE|GENERIC]]" code that is then converted into "[[GIMPLE#GENERIC and GIMPLE|GIMPLE]]" code by the "gimplifier". High-level optimizations are then applied on the SSA form of "GIMPLE". The resulting optimized intermediate code is then translated into [[Register Transfer Language|RTL]], on which low-level optimizations are applied. The architecture-specific [[Front and back ends|backend]]s finally turn RTL into [[assembly language]]. * [[Go (programming language)|Go]] (1.7: for x86-64 architecture only; 1.8: for all supported architectures).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://golang.org/doc/go1.7#compiler|title=Go 1.7 Release Notes - The Go Programming Language|website=golang.org|access-date=2016-08-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://golang.org/doc/go1.8#compiler|title=Go 1.8 Release Notes - The Go Programming Language|website=golang.org|access-date=2017-02-17}}</ref> * [[IBM]]'s open source adaptive [[Java virtual machine]], [[Jikes RVM]], uses extended Array SSA, an extension of SSA that allows analysis of scalars, arrays, and object fields in a unified framework. Extended Array SSA analysis is only enabled at the maximum optimization level, which is applied to the most frequently executed portions of code. * The [[Mozilla]] [[Firefox]] [[SpiderMonkey]] JavaScript engine uses SSA-based IR.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.mozilla.org/IonMonkey/Overview|title=IonMonkey Overview}},</ref> * The [[Chromium (web browser)|Chromium]] [[V8 JavaScript engine]] implements SSA in its Crankshaft compiler infrastructure as [https://blog.chromium.org/2010/12/new-crankshaft-for-v8.html announced in December 2010] * [[PyPy]] uses a linear SSA representation for traces in its JIT compiler. * The [[Android Runtime]]<ref>{{cite video |title=The Evolution of ART - Google I/O 2016 |time=3m47s |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwMM6g7wpQ8 |date=25 May 2016 |work=Google}}</ref> and the [[Dalvik (software)|Dalvik Virtual Machine]] use SSA.<ref>{{cite web |title=JIT through the ages |url=http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~aho/cs6998/reports/12-12-11_Ramanan_JIT.pdf |last=Ramanan |first=Neeraja | date=12 Dec 2011 }}</ref> * The Standard ML compiler [[MLton]] uses SSA in one of its intermediate languages. * [[LuaJIT]] makes heavy use of SSA-based optimizations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wiki.luajit.org/Optimizations|title=Bytecode Optimizations|publisher=the LuaJIT project}}</ref> * The [[PHP]] and [[Hack (programming language)|Hack]] compiler [[HHVM]] uses SSA in its IR.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/blob/master/hphp/doc/ir.specification|title=HipHop Intermediate Representation (HHIR)|website=[[GitHub]]|date=30 October 2021}}</ref> * libFirm, a library for use as the [[Compiler#Three-stage compiler structure|middle and back ends of a compiler]], uses SSA form for all scalar register values until code generation by use of an SSA-aware register allocator.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pp.ipd.kit.edu/firm/|title=Firm - Optimization and Machine Code Generation}}</ref> * Various [[Mesa (computer graphics)|Mesa]] drivers via NIR, an SSA representation for shading languages.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2014-December/072761.html|title=Reintroducing NIR, a new IR for mesa|last=Ekstrand|first=Jason|date=16 December 2014 }}</ref>
